I left Jackpot Nevada early yesterday morning it was a cold night camping out; got to minus 3, after 7 hours cycling I arrived in Shoshone Idaho and was met by Payson the president of the Chamber his wonderful mother Claudia the owner of the local Antique Mall and Lanita secretary of the Chamber and owner of the motel I stayed in. (The only one in town) Shoshone is a beautiful little town with tons of character, lots of  historic buildings and homes , extra wide streets and extra friendly people. I had the best Chicken Fried  Steak on Route 93 for supper and the second best breakfast Burger for breakfast. Today after a meeting with the Mayor and Newspaper I am off to Craters of the Moon National Monument.
