White  Bird  Community  Library,  White  Bird,  Idaho

We've spent the last three days traveling from Missoula, Montana, to White Bird, Idaho. We either seem to be climbing or coasting downhill. Yesterday was one of the easiest days of riding (all downhill) while today was one of the most grueling, with two passes and about 3,500 feet of climbing. We didn't know what to expect from this part of Idaho. Growing up, I thought Idaho was all flat potato farm land. Obviously I didn't know much about Idaho. I've included some photos below of the scenery. Really gorgeous.

Right now, we are sitting outside of the White Bird Community Library, in White Bird, Idaho. The library is a community effort and staffed solely by volunteers. The library is closed but provides 24 hour wifi (The WiFi Zone) and outdoor seating. So although they are only open nine hours a week, they supply wifi around the clock to the community and tourists passing through. And in a place where our cell phones have a limited connection, it is very much appreciated!

Good day Trans Am'rs,

Good day Beth and John,

I came across your journal a few weeks back and have enjoyed seeing your progress. I did the ride two summers back and loved it. I live in Dallas Oregon just off the route and have had a few riders stay with my wife and I with me being a Warmshower host. My once librarian and now art teaching wife and this cyclist/teacher have a comfortable home for you to stay over before you land on our beautiful coast the next days ride. Enjoy the best part of the ride that is Oregon. And let us know if a stay in Dallas works in your plans.

Safe travels,

Mark Dobbins
