Day 6, Ride from Elk City, ID to Lochsa Lodge, ID

This ride was much anticipated as it was through the Magruder Corridor. Not much traffic out here and lots of fire damage. 

Somewhere here is the Montana Idaho state line. No signs : )


We passed into Montana and had dinner at The Joint in Darby.

We settled for the night at Lochsa Lodge. A great lodge for rafting, hunting and fishing. 

All of the staff were 20 somethings. They stay there all season and fill many roles. Chelsea, our waitress took care of us. We asked her if they had laundry and she said if we bring it back before 9pm she’d have it to us the next morning. I was all over that. This girl was so dang go lucky. Every one needs a Chelsea. She was working double shifts, being a waitress, housekeeping, laundry and who knows what else. According to her, it’s all good. Heck, she even said she enjoyed doing laundry. 

Sure enough, next morning she waited on us at breakfast and had our laundry. And she was STILL happy. I wish I got her story, but she was too busy working to chat much.
