Day 68

Our route today took us along the Lochsa river for the whole 72 mile day to Syringa, via Lowell. Population 24 or is it 23(see picture below). No services, houses or anything else for 65 of those miles, just stunning river, forests and occasional waterfalls. We have camped on a hill overlooking the river with our American friends. No where to eat so a meal of Macaroni cheese and reconstituted beef stroganoff( beats going to bed hungry). It is a very still night, just the sound of the Cicadas, very peaceful.
There are black bears in this area, not sure how much we should be concerned, but just in case, no food in the tent.
