MTB

It feels like fall has already set in; nights are getting chillier - there is that fall smell in the air. Chachi only has about 2 weeks before he heads back to work (teacher) and he's just like an overgrown kid - he's whining about going back to school because he wasted his summer.

Another acronym. I hate acronyms. Detest them. They are impossible. I would much prefer to use full language in full sentences.

MTB-Mountain Trail Biking.

We drove north of Sandpoint off the road to Grouse Creek. A further 11 miles into the wilderness complete with grizzly bear warnings posted on almost every other tree.

The trail #283 was illustrated as "easy" and let me tell you...it was NOT easy. It was hard on my butt. We got about 2 miles into the woods and decided to turn around.

But had lots of fun in the creek. Isabelle ran around investigating all the wonderful, unusual smells while taking dips into the creek. We washed off our feet because they were covered with the fine powdery dust that covered the trail.

Along to Sandpoint to ride the paved Dover trail. After 6 miles of that, we came home thru Priest River.

Sent in the paperwork for the 16K Kootenai River Ride on 13 September 2008; free t-shirt, goody bag & potato feed after the ride. It will be lots of fun.

Hubby fell asleep in the chair after we returned home. What a couch potato!
