Day 13: Idaho Post
I walked 60454 steps on the trail today.
I traveled about 22 miles today.
7/25/17 We camped nearly right on the ID/MT border last night so all of today was spent hiking through Idaho. Not much difference :-) But, as you can see, they are good shots and some don't seem to care for hikers. The hike down to the Moyie River was dry but cool. We stopped at the Feist River Falls resort but it was dead because we were pretty early I guess. So, on we hiked to the base of Bussard Mountain and our last water source for a dozen miles or more. The 3400feet up the hill went better than hoped but it was the usual hot, steep, and sweaty. At the top, there was a surprise - about 100gallons of water in 5gal jugs. They were probably for trail crews but we borrowed a bit from an open jug. After that, we passed many dry spots but no water so it was a good idea. The rest of the afternoon and evening was spent following old dirty roads down toward Bonner's Ferry and we camped just a few miles from the major road crossing. Not much to report but I think it's because I'm very tired and looking forward to our adventure tomorrow - trying to reach Coeur d'Alene.
