North Fork declares itself to be a village but is gas station with store & small diner.
Still they had WiFi so good to do some work.
Still rehydrating from yesterday’s ride. Today’s plan was to ride up along the Salmon River to the town of Salmon, 22 miles on.
Lovely ride, & with the wind at my back, peddling effort was at a minimum. Acomplete contrast to yesterday’s ride. I failed to mention, in the mountains, that there are a plethora of insects waiting to attack as soon as you slow up or stop – especially the flies! Insect repellent appears to be useless. My legs & arms are proof of that! Down in the valley this is not a problem. So not a bad day at all really!
Salmon is a real town, self contained & sitting on the river at least 65 miles from its neighbour. As expected, lots of bars & food places, hospital, tractors repairs and a few trinket shops for those heading north to the river’s canyons ridden yesterday.
Tonight I treated myself to a beer & dinner at the popular Junk Yard Restaurant. Great food but the proverbial one hours wait around these parts.
