Day 8 by Gavin July 5th 40 miles

We only went forty miles today but it was fun all the same. Today was fairly uneventful in the way of biking but at the campsites it was fun. This morning when we woke up we got a hot breakfast once again, and all of the kids went down to the river and washed our faces and gave our selves some painful brain freezes just from the water on our faces.
The shoulder was very narrow but the logger trucks were kind and gave us plenty of room. Although dad tried to make our ending spot downhill every day, but alas he was unable predict this monster of a hill before hand. After reaching the town which was on top of the hill, we visited the information center at Grand Cache (the town). then we headed over to our campsite and put up our tent. We then went out to eat at Milos and were going to swim but the recreation center in town was having a power outage. Not only that but when went to update the blog at the local library, they had no internet because they also were experiencing a power outage. What was nice about the camping ground was that it had showers and it had some washers and dryers for our clothes. After taking our showers and washing the clothes, we ate our dinner of hamburgers over an open fire. Then as we tried making s’mores, it started to rain on us so we got into the tent and began watching blood diamond on the laptop before we went to bed.
For the most part, today was as exciting as every day of this trip has been.
