I can't believe that we are entering our 3rd week already. Yesterday the tour worshiped in a Boise park with the Valley Life Community Church. They supplied us with lunch also. Julie and I volunteered along with one other person, to stay befind and provide security while the others went to the worship time. Someone else came back to relieve us so we could go to get lunch there.
Today I felt really strong and made good time, thanks to a strong tail wind the second half of the ride. I had left early to beat the heat again. I left at 7:20 and arrived in the Mountain Home camp site at 11;30. That included a coffee break at the only place along the route today. The landscape is vary barren again. I did see a coyote today. There was nothing between the beginning and end of our ride today, but sagebrush. It reached 98 degrees again this afternoon. Julie got in from her duties at about 4:00. The route was about 55 miles today, with one 1,000 foot climb pretty near the beginning of the day. We spent about 7 miles on I-84 again today.
This town is near an Air Force base and have seen a few F-15s fly over. There are a few clouds in the sky today but only a 4% chance of precipitation. The school where we are camped tonight is very fussy about allowing vehicles near the camp area, so we are not attached to our tent. That is not the first time we have not attached.
We heard that the "goathead" thorns are very bad in the next stretch of the tour tomorrow. I hope that does not mean a lot of flats. Saturdays count of flats was 28.
Love to all, P & J
