Comments: Well Rick left long before we even got up.  We slept in late, showered and had breakfast by the falls.  We go through the last of the gravel and then press on.  The traffic, especially the trucks is annoying, but not too bad.  We stop for pictures at scenic turnout near Cutler and talk to three bicyclists there.  After Spranque it becomes a P.O.R. day, although there are lots of bicyclists going by.  It’s P.O.R. because we got a late start and want to reach Iron Bridge or Thessalon tonight.  After a big dinner in Iron Bridge the choice is Iron Bridge.  More miles tomorrow, I guess.
