A Blast from the Pass't.

After 2 years and 3 months, Tom and I found ourselves back in a familiar place... Rainy Pass.

We'd cycled up the long steep road to Rainy Pass during the Northern Tier bike ride in June 2007, rough-camping on the side of the road in the snow that was still there.

This time we emerged from the forest to cross the road to the now snow-free proper campsite that we couldn't get to those 27 month before.

It was pretty cool to be back there, and during the hike up along the trail, we crossed over the creek that further downstream we'd been camped next to, cold and tired. This time we were in better shape and the weather was much warmer!

From Rainy Pass, it is around a 'mere' 60 miles to the border... so we are almost there!
