Day 15: SAG day; Grangeville to Lolo Hotsprings

-

 After reading several accounts regarding the VERY narrow to NONEXISTENT shoulder on Rt 12 up to Lolo Pass, we opted to ride with Lesli in the SAG wagon.  We were able to have a more leisurely morning and stop along the way to visit the Lolo Pass visitor's center chronicling the Lewis and Clark expedition as well as the life and fate of the Nez Perce tribe of native Americans.





It was a 2+ hour drive and due to space limitations 2 of us had to ride in the back.  Surprisingly, the view from the truck bed is quite different.  It was glaringly evident that the shoulder was frightfully narrow at times.  The Lochsa river running the length of the ride was exceptionally beautiful however.






Once we crossed Lolo Pass we entered another state! Yay!  Montana.



Our lodging for the evening was at Lolo Hotsprings RV and Lodge.  We had one deluxe (bath and small kitchen) and one "dry" cabin (refrigerator, but no bathroom or shower).  It was another night of sleeping in a glorified storage shed!


Although we were unable to make use of the Hot Springs due to the extreme heat of the day, we did all get into the creek to soak and listened to some fine music compliments of our resident musicians, Lesli, Suzanne, and Pete!  Lovely evening!

Well that was an interesting night for sure! I slept in the shack "out back." On my way to the shack to go to bed,  I saw a large feral cat. That sprang my imagination into high speed. Hmm I wonder why it ran under the shack? Will birds and snakes crawl into my shack? Oh bother! When I finally went to sleep, I slept well. No creatures visited in the night.  Monday morning. Up bright and early! Lauran gave me a gentle reminder to wake up. As she had already perked a pot of coffee, I was eager to get up and get going. We all bustled about the place packing and preparing for today's climb; almost identical to yesterday's trajectory. Today we hoped to get started an hour earlier to avoid the predicted high heat. We might make all 58 miles if we planned it right. Donning some very strange looking duck billed visors, we set off into the rising sun. What a fantastic morning. Flying up over hills and down the other side on Hells Canyon Rd. I got a great view of an Elk standin...

Early to bed, early to rise is key when trying to beat the extreme heat of the day here, which begins searing down upon us as soon as 8:30 am. With Lesli, our confident sag wagon driver, singer / song writer and chef extraordinaire, at the wheel, we took off promptly at 6:30 am from Barnes Butte Bungalow, a funky cool Airbnb house in Prineville, OR. The group decided the previous evening it would be prudent to drive the 5-ish miles to Ochoco Lake at the eastern base of Ochoco National Forest to avoid riding on the no-shoulder, heavy truck-trafficked road those first few miles. Good decision! A crescent moon nestled against a stunning bluebird sky above made for a dramatic backdrop as we began pedaling at 7 am sharp bundled up against the cool morning air. Today would be a long climbing day, which most of the riding group embraced with a twisted sense of glee. Having trained at sea level for this epic adventure, let’s just say that I’m a wee bit less enthusiastic when it comes to unrele...

Off Like a Herd of Turtles

 A friend of mine; Dale, always says that.  It is appropriate as usually we are on a float and that is departing pretty slowly.  It is not how fast you are off the starting blocks, but the pace you run the race.  Finishing up today at a place called Fern Lake and a nice camp spot for all.  But there is a bit of a climb to get there....a small one, sorta a warmup for the Rockies.
