This morning we awoke to the smell of smoke. The wind was blowing downriver and giving us a morning dose of carbon. We were hoping that the smoke would disappear when we turned north following Hwy 12 at Lowell.
At Lowell we made a stop for a snack and to confirm we could continue on Hwy 12 with no fire problems. Looks like we are clear from here out to Missoula.
The ride from Lowell to Wendover CG was a steady climb along the Lochsa river. There were also tons of trailheads we passed. Makes me want to come back with my backpack.
Other than being hot and beautiful the ride along the Lochsa was uneventful.
At Wensover we have a great camp spot beneath the trees.
Tomorrow we should have a 15 mile climb to Lolo pass then make our way down to my final destination of Missoula.
