Day 6- Pole Creek to Sheep Trail

It may be hard for us southerners to grasp, but it is already freezing in parts of Idaho. Real freezing, like in morning temperatures in the 20's at elevation. Not only is it really hard to get up out of your little goose down cocoon, it's even harder to add more wind chill by getting on the bike. Because of this, the boys get a late start of 10:00 and head towards Redfish Lake and Stanley.

After lunch in Stanley, Bubba and Alan head off in the truck to pick up Jorge in Idaho City, were he headed after dropping me off at the airport in Boise. Bill heads up the trail by himself, but manages to take a wrong turn and is now headed the wrong way up the mountain. As a Sloth, this is not "getting lost" but just wanting to add miles to get a "real workout". He swallows his manly pride and asks directions of a couple in a pickup truck, who very kindly take him to camp. I'm sure he rewards them by sharing my rum. At least I can be some good in absentia.
