At the library in Twin Bridges I bumped into the guy to built the cyclists campsite there. After he described the services there I lamented to him that I did not take advantage of the place. The place has a gazebo, showers, and a beautiful river-side location- (all without the high-way robber of KAO campsites.) Quite a few towns along the Transamerica cycling route have places like this, and its amazing that people donate the time, effort, and money for people to stay.
I spent most of my time in the library frowning at the weather reports. As I began to plan the last leg of my route through Washington I logged onto warmshowers.org and couchsurfing sites to see if there was any escape from the elements. Using couchsurfing successfully for the first time, I unbelievably found someone to stay with in Dillon. With such a short day, I wanted to do more miles up to Jackson, but camping at about 6,700ft. As road to Dillon was about 5,200ft and raining, there is a good chance if I pushed onto to Jackson I would find myself in another white-out!
I passed by Beaverhead Rock today, so named by Lewis and Clark. I forced myself to stop and take a picture as I need someone to explain to me how it looks like a beaver! (Will put the picture up as soon as I can.)
