Worley, Idaho 311 km


The first day of our journey south to address one of Norma’s bucket list items (see Celine Dion live) actually turned into a very nice riding day. The weather man had predicted rain and to our surprise for the first time in several years we managed to have a dry ride at the start of our journey.

We got ourselves organized and left home after an early lunch. Today was a short 4 1 /2 hour ride to Worley, Idaho, where we checked into the Coeur d’Alene casino and found we were entitled to a free night with our club card. Spend some frivolous time in the casino – no luck for either of us.

The Coeur d’Alene tribe has done a nice job with this casino resort including historical photos, an ethnobotanical walk and paintings/sculptures revolving around the history of the tribe. Apparently the casino is the largest employer in Northern Idaho.

The rain has started in earnest now. We at least missed it all for our ride but may not be so lucky tomorrow.
