Koocanusa Reservoir

Our host this morning gave us a great breakfast of pancakes and eggs to fuel us for the day. I started out the morning with the "coffee club" (Nate, Kelsey, Erin) and broke away for solo riding the rest of the day. We rode along the Koocanusa Reservoir today, which was incredible. All along the rode were huge rocky cliffs to our left and big rock formations to our right. We climbed atop some for a better view.

The ride was a bit tough for everybody. We think it was because of the thermal winds. Nobody could hold ther normal average. I took it slow and just enjoyed the riding. The air here is so crisp and smells of pine. It's wonderful. The last bit of the ride took us past the dam and along the river valley into Libby.

There was a car show in town which was fun to walk through. There were cars from every decade! It was neat. Once at the host Kelsey and I went over to McDonalds, since our group has to make dinner tonight. I enjoyed a tasty smoothie and fries. Yum! After a nap we ate pasta with peanut sauce and then got milkshakes down the street. It's all about food with us. I'm looking forward to resuming my normal-person eating habits when the trip is over.
