Since yesterday's posting, we have had really bad weather. Yesterday afternoon we were hailed on and ever since we have been riding in downpour conditions. So we finally caved and stayed at a hotel last night in Sandpoint, Idaho.
As we rolled into Sandpoint, Sarah got a flat tire, which waylaid her long enough for the members of the local Sandpoint bike club to come over and tell her and Cate about bike week. In honor of bike week, they were holding a film screening at the movie theatre in town and we were invited. After a trip to the laundromat and some long showers and dinner, we made our way over to the bike club film screening, and when we walked into the packed theatre, they interrupted the giving-away of prizes to get the 3 of us onstage for a thunderous round of applause. It was pretty cool. So our 15 minutes were in Sandpoint, Idaho, and there you have it.
We are on our way to a campsite at Bull Lake in Montana now, but we are lingering longer than we should in Clark Fork because we are freezing cold and wet. I hope we will have a happier posting next time!

I am reminded of the lyrics from the hit song in the musical Annie: the sun'll come out 'Tomorrow'.
Is it true there is now a Denny Lane in Sandpoint?
Mom and Dad are coming to the rescue! Well, not exactly, we're all going to have to wait out the weather. But we can't wait to see you tomorrow. And we'll stick to hotels for a few days besides. Great story about the bike club.
