Today is August first. On the 10th we reach Seattle. It's crazy to think how fast this summer has melted by. Where did it all go? We crossed back into Idaho today, and the next state we'll reach is Washington. We'll be there for a week before hitting the Pacific and this cross country trip will come to an end. It definitely snuck up on me.
Dinner last night was great. We had ribs cooked by the local Methodist Church at the fair. Then we watched team roping for a while before hitting the sack. This morning we went back out to the fairgrounds where they treated us to pancakes, sausage, and eggs. Yum! The rodeo was going early this morning, so after we ate we headed back over to the arena to watch barrel racing for a little while before hitting the road.
The ride today was really good. We sepnt most of the day on I-90 (its legal to ride on the interstate in Montana and Idaho), but it wasn't too bad. We left the interstate for about 12 miles before lunch and climbed through a really pretty area. It was an open range, where cattle can roam free, and Chad and I ran across some cows in the middle of the road. After lunch we climbed Lookout Pass on I-90 where we reached Idaho and the Pacific Time Zone. It was all down hill from there until we reached the nice little town of Wallace. We cleaned up, explored the town a little bit and enjoyed all the extra time we had (a short 60 mile ride plus gaining an hour means some of us got in about 1!).
