Idaho Centennial Trail # 21

Dcfc0159 So I left my survival pack with Brian and Johnny and took off to catch up to Kevin, he had left 2 minutes earlier than me, I was worried I wouldn’t catch him before it was pitch black dark.

Next thing I knew there was Kevin walking his bike around a hole in the trail, when I went to go around me and the bike slid in to the hole, the only thing left on the trail was my front tire, Kevin ran over and grabbed my front tire while I lifted up my back tire and after 2 minutes, it was back on the trail, our adrenaline was pumping, and now it’s pitch dark and now I couldn’t see the trail, all I could see was a little red tail light to guide me, You can imagine what the next 1 ½ hrs was like. I crashed 2 times and Kevin took a wrong turn and left me standing in the dark for about 5 minutes until he realized I was no longer behind him, talk about spooky. If I hadn’t realized that Kevin had taken a wrong turn, who knows where we would have ended up.

We took a break at that point, Kevin had 1 beer left in his pack even though it wasn’t cold we drank it anyway.

We got back on our bikes and finished the last 2 miles to the main road which was called (Willow Creek campground)  the trail was a steep downhill with lots of switchbacks not to mention it was dark as hell. When we hit the main road we hit 55 MPH just to get back to the camper where it was warm and there was plenty of food and water, because I had left all my supplies back with Brian and Johnny.Dcfc0011
