June 12, 2016 Sunday – Stayed in Ketchum, ID

Sunset here is at 9:10pm!  It gets down into the 30’s at night and maybe to the low 70’s during the day.  Ideal weather! 

We rode our electrified bikes about 25 miles today.  We recharged in the middle but we really didn’t need it.  This morning we rode into Ketchum, about 4 miles, and went grocery shopping.  The collapsible carrying crate is perfect for groceries.  One crate is about the amount you can fit into a hand-held grocery basket.  Two crates is about the max we can fit in our RV refrigerator! 

Our afternoon ride was to Sun Valley, about 1-2 miles past Ketchum (5-6 miles).  The bike trails around this area are separate from the road.  You go through beautiful meadows, along rivers, past blossoming wild flowers, along an old abandon railroad track, across bridges.  It’s gorgeous!  On our return from Sun Valley, we stopped to see the Ore Wagon Museum in Ketchum.  Wow are those wagons huge!  They only come out once a year on Labor Day Weekend for a parade.

This afternoon, after returning from Sun Valley, we went in the opposite direction towards the town of Hailey and saw an elk!
