063 Cycle Touring the USA (2) - Part 2

(Leana) #1

(^52) Idaho Falls – Warm Waters campsite - 110 km
The ride was so monotonous that I found myself listening to stories I
had downloaded on my iPod—a novel way to cycle, but only possible
when there’s no traffic. The path east ran past vast fields of seed
potatoes and even more extensive wheat areas, and in the process, I
met a French family pedalling around Idaho. Sadly, their holiday was
soon ending, and they planned on hiring a car to tour Yellowstone
National Park.
Arriving early at Warm Waters campsite meant I could spend the rest
of the day basking in the sun. Warm Waters was a popular site, and
campers floated downstream on inner tubes, only to run back and
repeat the process. The camp had a great location next to the river,
with plenty of trees. There were, surprisingly, no showers, but I
guessed that was what the river was for.
