Day 11

June 12th, 2007

This morning Amanda and her sister treated the team to a great breakfast. Thank you! It was also the last time I will see her until D.C. which is sad, it has been great to see her along the way so far. Today's ride was possibly the most beautiful yet, however the road was also the scariest we have or will ever see. The road had narrow shoulders which made for some scary situations. Today I rode with Andrew and we decided to take it easy, be safe and enjoy the view. But for some reason we pulled way ahead of the rest of the other groups and ended up getting to lodging nearly an hour before the others. Once the team was all in town we went down to the park to have lunch with the Opportunities Unlimited of Kamiah. The visit was great, it was a real opportunity to see some of the amazing abilities of people with disabilities. One of the men there was able to draw with impeccable detail and realism. After lunch we all came home and took a much needed nap. For dinner we were treated to a traditional dinner of Indian Tacos. Marry, the woman in charge of the Native American center, gave us a really cool presentation about the heritage of the area and her tribe. Tomorrow is another 100 mile day so I had better get some sleep.
