Reader's Digest condensed version.

[humanrace]

Snowed on us again today. We were ran out of Revelstoke NP due to worsening road conditions. We've decided to return tomorrow when conditions for a hike may be a little better.

 

[humanrace]

Free cherries with a room at Bavarian Orchard in Creston, BC. Pick them yourself, fresh from the tree.

 

[humanrace]

Back in Idaho. US Customs confiscated about 6# of freshly picked cherries, along with a lemon and some grapes.
This is early in the process of making canola oil.

 

[SpiritAtBay]

I’ve never seen cherries like that! I would’ve eaten so many, I’d get a tummy ache

 

[woodsguy]

The heat/humidity combo here right now is full on brutal. You body overheats but sweating does no good. You have sweat in places you didn't know could sweat! I can't wait for it to get hotter so the humidity will at least come down to reasonable levels again

Wish granted! @humanrace stay where you are as long as possible! Sure looks great!

 

[Cagiva 549]

They would have had to wait while I ate all of them before I was ready to come across the border .

 

[humanrace]

We ate so many while we were picking them that I felt like I was starring in the movie "The Witches of Eastwick."

 

[humanrace]

Wifey flew back to Texas today. I'm camped at Hungry Horse Lake again. The Going to the Sun Road is open and I'm going to try to ride it tomorrow.
Near Camp

 

[humanrace]

Going to the Sun

 

[humanrace]

TWT is cool today.

 

[Tourmeister]

Did you have to make a reservation to ride Going to the Sun?

 

[humanrace]

No. If you get to the gate before 6:00 AM, you don't need a reservation. Also after 3:00 PM. Going to the Sun is under construction from just inside the west gate until after McDonald Lake. A benefit of getting there early is no flagmen and no delays. I found a nice view at a turnout and stopped to cook breakfast.

 

[humanrace]

Wet gravel roads create a hazard. The rewards make riding them worthwhile

 

[gixxerjasen]

I thought those were bugs at first.

Same here because that is what my helmet has looked like after a few recent rides!

 

[humanrace]

 

[Tourmeister]

You do know that you don't HAVE to rip through the mud puddles when you see them... right?!

 

[gixxerjasen]

You don't????

 

[humanrace]

Rain suit or no rain suit?

 

[gixxerjasen]

Depends on if you want it to rain. Put on the rain suit and it'll stay dry, don't put on the rain suit and it'll pour cats and dogs. At least that's how MY rain suit works.

 

[Tourmeister]

You don't????

I've learned the hard way that some of those puddles that LOOK shallow... AREN'T!!

Or have a log or rut running diagonally across the bottom.

 

[humanrace]

Along the St. Joe Scenic Byway. Great road and very little traffic.

In Idaho? Following the St. Joe River? If so, that is on our planned route.

Just think if this wasn't the condensed version how many pages we would have by now!
