The Boy Scout leaders made us hot water so Bob and I could have coffee. YUM. That made the start of the day great. There was a big climb starting out of Council. Bob was struggling and had a hard day. (Maybe because of the five small donuts he had for breakfast!) I took the Burley almost the whole day. We call the Burley the Anchor. It was around a 1000 foot climb out of there. Around each curve we thought the top had to be there but it never came. In New Meadows we went to the library to get on the computer to check email. Bob was ready to quit but I talked him into pushing forward because the next town was downhill. HaHa! We saw a beautiful waterfall on the downhill and actually turned around to get a picture. Normally on a downhill we don't stop. Bob was worried about the camp office closing so he called Canyon Pines RV Resort. At this point we had cell signal but lost it soon. We arrived about 10 minutes after the office closed but the owner knew we were coming and waited on us. The relaxing and soothing sound of the Salmon River put us to sleep.
