Twin Lakes Camp!

Today was our easiest day of the trip.  We woke up at 6:30 and started our bike ride to Rathdrum, ID.  We had a day off so we were all feeling really good and rested.  Also we had only 35 miles to bike today so it was a very easy day.  It’s kind of weird thinking that we a 35 mile day is nothing compared to when I first started biking and thought 25 miles was a long ride! It just shows how far we have come!  But since it was a short day we all stopped at the Washington and Idaho border and took some pictures.  Besides the 45 degree weather, the ride was a piece of cake.  When we got a half a mile outside of Twinlow Camp, which is where we were staying for the night, we all staged up and rode in 2x2 behind the vans.  When we got there a bunch of kids were there cheering us on and clapping for us!  Since we had no friendship visit for the day we just unloaded the vans and had the rest of the day free.  We all took a little nap and then headed to Red Robin for lunch.  For dinner the camp sponsored us and cooked a meal for us and it was delicious.  In return we helped them with the clean up.  After that we went to a little place called the Lighting Bar so we could watch the Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals and play some pool!! While there we talked to some locals and got a donation which was pretty awesome.  Then we went to a campfire that was put on by the camp counselors.  We just hung out for awhile and talked.  After about an hour and a half we said our goodbyes and went to bed.  It’s crazy the number of people you meet and can just sit down and talk to for hours but then have to say bye and will probably never see again!
