Day 1 - July 10

Day 1, July 10: I get up at 4:00 AM to catch my flights to Spokane. At the airport, Ellis and Cathy pick me up on their way from Seattle to the start of the tour. Those of us camping, set up camp. We all meet near the shore of Lake Coeur d'Alêne. For more details about this tour, see https://www.adventurecycling.org/guided-tours/fully-supported-tours/idaho-trails-relaxed/.
