As I was packing up, I talked to several employees about which direction to go as I headed out of town. I also met Michael, the owner who asked where I was staying that night. I said I wasn't sure so he invited me to stay with him and his wife. He drew me a map to find my way across town and off I went. I got to the house in a lovely neighborhood and met Eileen, Michael's wife.
I had a great time getting to Eileen and Michael.
Eileen is a retired teacher and is very involved in bicycling programs in the city. Michael does lots of volunteer projects with the Rotary Club. He is an avid photographer and showed me some of his photo collection along with some of his old Hasselblad cameras. If you thought I was a bicycling fanatic, you haven't met these two. They have four or five bikes in the living room alone and the house is decorated with all sorts of bike themed stuff.
The next morning, the three of us rode across town.
I got great directions on side roads to take all the way to Sandpoint, Idaho. Thanks for the hospitality Michael and Eileen! It was great to meet you.
The road to Sandpoint has been great. Climbing over a small pass, I was surrounded by the fragrance of blooming mock orange.
I crossed the border into Idaho.
Currently, I'm in Sanpoint and will cross into Montana later today.
