With sadness we left the best campsite site since starting the trip and set off along the trail. \u00a0 The trail ascended for 3 miles before we reached Red Meadow Campground. The campground was situated beside a small lake in a clearing. Although it was picturesque we all felt confidently that The Best Bridge Over a Stream was better.\u200e<\/p>\n

The gravel road continued through wilderness until just after lunch we hit asphalt justt as we approached Whitefish Lake. \u00a0The pavement was a welcome break from two days of bumping and jarring along the rough gravel. As we settled into a good pace we missed Cricket’s instructions to turn on the bicycle trails running west of the lake.<\/p>\n

We had arrived in Whitefish before I discovered my error; too late to turn back. \u00a0Instead we were forced to follow highway 93 north west on the west side of the lake to the retreat.<\/p>\n

We arrived at the Whitefish Bike Retreat a little after 3. \u00a0 After we set up our tents we picked up our van and drove to town for a good big supper.<\/p>\n

We spent August 27 and 28 at the retreat taking it easy, visiting Whitefish and riding the single track trails. \u00a0 I found out that technical single tracks aren’t fun on a fully loaded bicycle.<\/p>\n
