Since I was feeling better on Tuesday morning we got ready to ride our bikes as soon as it warmed up some - so late morning. I relented and told John we could do the moderate to difficult trail called Huckleberry Ridge. What that means is that the trail was at least two tracks wide with little elevation change for the first couple of miles then as we got to the lake’s edge the trail narrowed to one track, started to ascend the ridge and was filled with tree roots and boulders! I may be exaggerating a bit. The trail description said that only 10% of the trail was difficult and what that meant for us was walking the bikes over tree roots and boulders for over a mile! There I go exaggerating again - but not much! Once we got to the end of the Ridge Trail, we rode on the gravel road to the point on the peninsula. But the observation point was up a steep, loose gravel road that I just could not handle, so John went alone. Getting back was easy!
We had a late lunch, took naps and had dinner in town.
Today was Farmer’s Market Day in McCall. It was not a large market but it was well stocked with vendors selling vegetables, fruit, apples, eggs, meat, fresh cut flowers and other non-food stuff like jewelry and pottery. I got eggs, honey, lettuce, tomatoes, green beans, lemon cucumbers (small yellow ball sized cakes), blackberries and local lamb chops.
We explored the other state park camp site, took a long walk on an easy trail, John built a roaring fire and dinner tonight was totally from the market! Good Day!
