Ah, another day in McCall. And my dad’s birthday. He would have been 107 today! Damn – that’s old! And old is how I feel. My back is killing me today. We may be taking a rest day, though I really don’t want to – too many rides left to do. We’ll see.

Yeah – rest day. My back was murder on me, and The Bear’s legs were sore, so we washed the bikes (they needed it!) and lubed them up, so they’ll be ready to go tomorrow. Also went down to the Ranger Station to ask a few questions … found out more about dispersed camping … what is that? It is camping that you can do FOR FREE. We definitely like the sound of that! Sure, you have to bring everything with you, but that’s what boon-docking is all about! That’s why we got the generators and the solar panels. WooHoo! Next year may be a whole lot cheaper than this year, and maybe even some later this year. Wish we could do that in Texas!

Anyway, walked around the park to check out the sites, so we know what to get for next year – we’re thinking boon-docks for a few days, State Park for a day or two, more boon-docking, that way we get all the amenities every few days, with no cost in between! Cheap way to spend a month in Idaho, or Montana, Wyoming, Colorado. Anywhere there’s a National Forest, pretty much, though some do not allow it. We’ll have to look into it some more. We’re excited!
