Hey everybody! Its Ryan Roemer from Missoula Montana and I am feeling well into my trip right now.   I know that I have not posted in a while, but I will try to do my best to amend that right now. The day I left Baker city it was pouring rain and freezing cold, but I still managed to enjoy myself later in the day when it stopped raining. Because of all the sagebrush in the rain it smelled strongly of licorice, but it looked for all the world like I was in Scotland. The next night I stayed at a farmhouse through the warm showers website. Everything they had was oversized and it was great! I never felt out of place there with that, all the books and the upright grand piano. Biking through Idaho was fun, I met up with my family on the weekend (they had my grandmothers teardrop trailer with them) and we just happened to both turn up at the same campground to stay the night (the campground was called evergreen in case you were wondering). That was again, a lot of fun but all good things must come to an end and we parted ways at White Bird on Old highway 90, where they told me their song for me was "Blackbird", a beautiful song although I might be prejudiced a little bit. Before I left Idaho I met up with the cavalry for the state of Montana, The "Montana Conservation Core" a group of kids that were working on the trails around the Warm springs campground (which had been closed for years I've been told). They were the best company I had, and possibly will have, on my journey. I cannot praise them enough, but I  hope this will do; I was honored to spend the time I did with such great people, you will always be to me my friends and comrades of the Idaho wilderness. I am in Missoula now, as I said, and I've been here for a couple days resting and relaxing before the Rockies ahead of me. The first night I stayed at a motel, but for last night and tonight I was lucky enough to get a place to stay from someone who was fixing their bike at free cyclery. So I enjoyed the town and got supplies (good foods is a great place to go as well) and replaced my worn out tires. I must be getting along but I might not have many places I can update from here to Colorado, so Bye for now! catch you on the flipside!
