After a very restless night, we woke to rain pounding the tent at 4 am. Oh no! Well, at least it's not 90 degrees! By the time we got out of our tent at 6, the rain had stopped. We were able to enjoy our oatmeal and some fantastic coffee from Deby and Donn. We needed that after little sleep. We had noticed the night before that a pair of cyclists had come into camp. We did not get a chance to talk to them then, but this morning we met the father of the father and son cycling duo. He was a man of say 70, very fit and strangely, caring a large chefs knife. We joked with him about the need to walk around with such a big knife. He didn't really give an explanation, so we changed the subject. He and his son of 23 were riding the Divide. They were only going from Idaho Falls then to Colorado. He had ridden other segments at other times.
We left by 6:30, under threat of rain, on another loose gravel road. As we made our way towards Red Rock Pass, we saw several antelope crossing the road. The pass was short and steep with only 25 yards of walking, then our 6th Divide crossing into Idaho. The descent to Red Rocks Rv was fun and uneventful. Beautiful country, and apparently a moose family lives right down the road. We decided to try to look for them the next morning on our way to Yellowstone.Our priority this morning was showers, laundry and drying out our wet camping gear.
The next three days we're going to take a short break and spend it in Yellowstone, then Jackson Hole Wyoming.
