WOOD RIVER TALE

Today everyone was up and ready to go on a bike ride by the crack of 11:00 AM. Of course, I got Kathe up before sunrise for a little stroll around the camp ground, but she went right back to sleep. By the time they all were ready to roll the weather was bright and sunny, perfect! The Wood River Bike Trail is about 20 miles long and runs right past our campground all the way to Warm Springs. 

The Wood River Trail is the abandoned Sun Valley line of the Union Pacific which was resurfaced and now used year round by residents and visitors who want to get outdoors. There were people running, walking, and biking today, but they can even use it for cross county skiing in winter.


Everything was going well until Warren noticed that Kathe's bike had a flat tire. They pulled over in the shade and fixed it right away. They kept going until they reached Bald Mountain when the girls decided to turn around and ride back. The guys continued another 4 miles before they rode back.

This afternoon was supposed to be a shopping day in Ketchum. There are lots of little shops to explore, but the thunderstorm put an early end to that idea. It's been raining off and on all afternoon and there is a flash flood warning for the area. How fast can a little dog go in a rainstorm? You'd be surprised!
