We ate our breakfast at the only outdoor picnic table and enjoyed a conversation with Marvin Dixon who is a drummer for “Joe Rock Show Band” and was here to ride the ride we are doing tomorrow. More about the ride later, but Marvin loved to talk and spent a lot of time chatting away while we waited for our food to come to our table.
Across the road from Red’s is what truly looks like, and I am sure is, a typical western saloon.
It has at least two stars ;’-).
After breakfast we headed back the way we came, but took the road that passes camp in the other direction, across the bridge over the Salmon River. We wanted to check out tomorrow’s ride start at Hammer Creek Recreation Park. Oh, about that ride.
Susan found this at the General store yesterday, has called and talked with staff and we will register and (hopefully) get our semi-reserved t-shirts at 8:00 tomorrow morning.
The ride will take us 13 miles uphill on switchbacks (thank you eBikes) to the top, then basically coast all the way back to camp! Having to register early in the morning, we needed to know how far it is and how long it takes to bike to the start (about 1.5 miles/10 minutes) so to know what time to leave camp.
Today’s route had us on the other side of the river from yesterday and gave us some slightly different things to see and enjoy.
This unique “sculpture” is at Hammer Creek Park (where the ride will start).
Old farm buildings always catch my eye.
An expansive bucolic scene on the last leg of our day’s ride brings a feeling of peace.
As we approach camp, there it is across the river, we see the bridge that brought us over the river and will take us back.
I will be sure to let you know how tomorrow’s ride goes, and I think it will be fun.
