Sat. June 3 Day 7; 41 miles; Lowe 80s & light wind.

Left Beaverhead at 8:00. Nice ride for the first 10 miles.  Then we hit mud.  About 3 miles of pushing and slogging.  Finally hit high ground and had a cruise for 25 miles. Saw 8 elk. Beautiful escaping on the run across an open hillside. They even stopped once to look at us.  Water is scarce.  Had to get water out of a cattle tank.  Sighs said "Don't drink the Water." We purified. Drank.  Met a father/son combination from Arizona riding the trail. Retired teacher on a bucket list.  Son was riding the first 2 weeks.  Good riders on expensive bikes. Staying in a beautiful canyon, still in the Gila Wilderness Area.  Hope to make Pie Town tomorrow with some hard riding. Take care.
