Day 57 - 072709

New Meadows, ID to Brownlee Dam - 75.31 miles

A few of us started the morning with a full breakfast at Granite Mountain Cafe in New Meadows. The riding in the morning was nice with tree shade and a fast pace. A few of us met the trailer for a quick water stop in Council, ID before continuing on to the City Market in Cambridge, ID. After lunch a few of us visited the Hells Canyon Corner Sinclair for some much needed Gatorade.


After lunch we climbed to the top of the Brownlee pass - elevation 4131ft and stopped for some watermelon and a few beverages. I rode the remainder of the day with Don and Kristen to the Brownlee Dam.


We enjoyed a refreshing swim in the Snake River before showering and setting up camp for the night. Camp for the night was in the McCormick Park, one of Idaho Power's Hells Canyon Recreation Facilities just past the Brownlee Dam.
