Distance: 68.9 miles
Woke up and had a bag of dry cereal between us before heading off down the road through Troy. Stopped at a lay by with a sign for Kootenai Falls and swinging bridge. Walked down and took some pictures.
Cycled on to Libby where we stopped for lunch at a Subway.Followed the road around Lake Koocanusa - very scenic but some rolling hills made for a tiring day.
On the way around the Lake we started listening to some teach yourself Spanish CDs we had bought along for the trip. A good way to kill the 6-10 hours a day we were spending on the bikes.
At Libby Dam a car pulled over to warn us of a black bear and cubs they had seen by the side of the road in the direction we were heading, a potentially dangerous combination. We didn't see them but kept our eyes peeled staring into the greenery at the side of the road.
Not the best of days - a lot of rolling ups and downs had taken their toll by the time we had finished for the day. Dave was almost catatonic when we were chatting to the lady who ran the campground. However, we had ended up in a picturesque campsite at the edge of Lake Koocanusa.
Sunset over the lake was stunning as we set up camp and cooked our daily pasta load.
