More passes. Rode over them in the heat heat heat. The terrain changed dramatically after the Cascades. Met Andrew in between Loop Loop and Waconda Pass. We stayed at the same campground heading in different directions. Andrew accidentally swiped a pair of swim trunks identical with his own from a guy that hosted him in Sandpoint ID, about 200 miles away. I returned them.
The ride over Sherman Pass was spectacular. The ride down even better. When I got to Kettle Falls I decided that if the state campground was on the lake I would stay there and that I would have a swim. I lucked out with a lake front camp site cuz the guy who had reserved it left a day early. I met Stacey and Kate just before the awesome lightening storm and just in time for them to rescue me from it. I happily passed on sleeping in my tent despite the view and watched the lightening storm from the dry warmth of inside their camper. The next day was to be a rest day. Since it rained ALL NIGHT AND DAY, I took the ride they offered me to Sandpoint. That saved me about 150 miles of riding which will help me get to Minneapolis before I run out of time. We had a blast on the road and I'm beginning to imagine myself as a proud RV owner.
