Day 2 started out back in Council and at 9:50am all were back on the bikes minus Shelby, who decided 24 miles was enough so she would hang out with the girls! Right outside of Council, they saw their first deer. It was a couple miles of flat riding, some downhill riding to Mesa Siding where they saw a coyote and a Bear! Between Mesa Siding and Goodrich they stopped @ a bridge to swim and fish, as the girls were all in Goodrich waiting and waiting and waiting for them until we (the girls) finally panicked and thought something was wrong! So back to Council we went looking for them but with no luck! Luckily we had left a sign on the outhouse in Goodrich to Stay There! So after Council, Ann went back to Goodrich to see if they had shown up and Shelby and myself were off to Cambridge to see if they had a huge burst of energy and made it quickly!
Needless to say they ended up at Goodrich after catching a 18" rainbow trout on green grub and as Dave's journal reads, "The girls panicked because we were 1 1/2 hours late cuz of the stop." So in Goodrich they all swam more without Shelby and myself or a CAMERA! Luckily we had already checked out the cool old ghost town of Goodrich!
From Goodrich to Cambridge was a pretty long haul which for the last 4 miles was hot and flat. They arrived in Cambridge @ 3:30 for another 20 mile day and 45 miles in the weekend. But the girls were nowhere to be found as we were swimming in the river and they were locked out the motel! When we came back, I made them sandwiches with stuff that I had bought during the day when Shelby and myself were in Cambridge all alone! Next came the parade, right in front of the Motel and then we were off to the Rodeo. There we saw quite a few residents of Middleton!
That night the boys decided to finish the trail in a month or so hoping it would be a little cooler! So the next morning we were off to Hells Canyon!
