Tuesday we stopped along the road at Hungry Horse Dam, the largest dam in Montana and the 11th largest in the USA. Our next stop was near Libby, Montana to see a swinging bridge (see picture below) and Kootenai Falls. After a quick roadside meal of Ramen noodles, we continued to Idaho. We arrived at Farragut State Park and set up our campsite. We drove to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho which was about 20 miles away for dinner at a Mexican restaurant. We trying to find some good ole Idaho potato dishes, but no one seemed to be advertising that.
We were awake around 6am Pacific time on Wednesday and tried to remain in our tent until 7am when camp quiet hours were over. Once we broke camp, we headed back East to the MT/ID border to ride bikes along the Hiawatha Rails-to-Trials path. After an hour's drive there, we were told that the trial started 7 miles East of the bike rental shop and that we had to transport our bikes to the trailhead. Well, our car is extremely full of camping gear and such for the trip, so we don't have room for bikes. We were disappointed because there is no way to ride your bike along the interstate for 7 miles to the trailhead. Once again, we were headed back West.
We arrived in Spokane around noon. Tonight we're staying at a hotel to do laundry. We at a local fast food restaurant called Zip's. It was a hamburger and fish sandwich place. We also checked out the downtown area. It was a nice area, but there were quite a few homeless people. Tonight we're just doing laundry and getting ready to head for Leavenworth, WA tomorrow.
There you go with the Ramen again. You're getting as bad as me. :)
