The rain woke me up. I started my day with everything wet. I dress and cook oatmeal and begin packing. I need to get riding to arrive in Cambridge by early afternoon.
The stretch between New Meadows and Council on rte 95 is twisty and busy with RV, trucks, and car.
Coming off the mountain into Council is long fast and fun. I eat and leave town on the Weiser River Trail which is rough and slow going so I switch back to the main road.
I get to Tower Park, a place for cyclist to sleep while passing through. A pavilion and bathrooms so I desire to sleep here and unpack my tent to dry it out in the sun.
A man walking up the street stops to visit and invites me to stay at his house. He, David, offers to cook dinner, a room to sleep, and a shower. Neighbors Cy and Kathryn come over to visit and offer to cook me a pancake breakfast. This small town has many wonder people.
