Idaho Centennial Trail # 20
(this is the only pic I have of where they slept)
I knew right then that at some point someone was going to sleep in the woods tonight, because I knew he couldn’t make it out on his bike now, he did try for about a mile but it was just to hard and painful for him.
Kevin decide he would give him a ride out so we stashed his bike in the bushes and went for a mile and it was just to hard for Kevin to pack Johnny, so I decided I would do it, I told Johnny to get on and stay center of my back and lift his feet when I yelled feet so he wouldn’t get hit feet hit on the stumps or rocks.
By this time we were down to ½ hour of day light and so I rode as hard a I possibly could without hurting him to bad ,he probably thought I was crazy the way I was riding, But I knew it was my last chance of getting him out, With only 10 minutes of daylight left I stopped everybody and I said to Brian, that him and his brother Johnny was going to have to sleep in the woods until morning, at first Brian was not ok with this, but after a few minutes he decided that it was the best thing for me to follow Kevin out, because Kevin had to be back at camp because of his dog Jack, as well as Kevin had the only bike with a headlight and I was the only one who knew the trail enough to get back to camp,
