Pedicab Man

The miles may seem low today but the climbing was a bear...4,000 feet. The weather was cold, when we left Lewiston it was 49 F and the high in Winchester was predicted to be 49F. Where are the woollies when you need them. The ride out of Lewiston along the snake river was scenic then the next 18 miles was black sky and green hills. After a brunch in Culdesac we started the never ending climb to Winchester. Time after time we thought we had reached the top but it didn’t come until after we has given up. At 40 degree temperatures and light rain to the mix and you have an ass breaker of a day.
We have bunk house accommodation tonight in Winchester but this place is much nicer than the dump Bill, Tom and I stayed at a few years ago. Last time I was here must have been early July rodeo time because I saw a billboard advertising it for July 5 of 6th. Last time I was here the rodeo was on and it was hot as hell going up the mountain.
Tonight the group had chicken and I had canned tuna. We also had rice and fresh corn. Our best friend Cal has people sending him cookies so most nights we have homemade cookies at happy hour–a nice treat.
