Stop 43, Stanley ID

My own private Idaho. 

The weather has been fantastic during our time in Stanley.  In addition, the skies are mostly free of smoke from wildfires.  We've had a couple of nice hikes alond Fishhook Creek and up to Marshall Lake.  Yesterday we rafted the Salmon river.  Today we are standing in the hour long line for breakfast at the Stanley Baking Company (worth it) before I ride the bike over Galena Pass to meet Frances in Ketchum.  Ketchum is not really our kind of place, but that have a nice grocery there where we can stock up on fruits and vegetables.  

We have about 10 days before we need to be in Denver.  After a couple of days there, I'll make the trip to the reunion in Arizona with my Peace Corps friends.  

After the reunion, the long, hot drive across the south looks to end the trip.
