Day 13 (5/22/12) to Powell Idaho (Lochsa Lodge)

Terry at Lowell, on the Lochsa River. It was raining from the get go.
Mari looking lovely on the Lochsa River. Tired of the rain.
Apgar!! How does it rate on a scale from 0-10 upon arrival, and then again after the first five minutes?
  Health care humor, ha ha.

A tributary of the Lochsa River.

The water level is not far from the bridge deck.  Locals had said the water level is high right now.

Happy to get to the Lochsa Lodge for the night. No camping for us! Been in the rain almost all of the day, and with climbing elevations, it was cold.




Daily: 65.5 miles. Total: 686.9 miles. Rain. Uphill all day. 3441 ft. Elevation. Dinner in lodge and nice cozy cabin.
