our bike ride into idaho falls was an eventful one. We started off the day with a 6 mile climb, at 10% grade, up Teton pass. It was a steep/tough climb but everyone made it and cheered each other on at the top. We all danced at the top and prepared for a 10% grade downhill - soooo fun. at about mile twenty, all 31 of us stopped at the Emporium for huckleberry milkshakes - delicious and nutritious for the 86 mile day. Our hosts that night were sooo kind. It was the first time a host made all 31 of us get up in front of them and answer questions for 20 minutes, but it was fun/funny because they were a goofy crowd.
The next day we all went to the new location for idaho fall’s Habitat for Humanity restore. The new store was much needed - we got to see firsthand how much space the old store lacked. now they will be able to take in more donations and be more organized. We painted walls, wood finished the outside of the building, and took apart the sign on the roof that had the old building’s logo. It was our first time not building but we got A LOT done. After the build, dave and i checked out the wolf museum which was all about dogs. it was interesting. Then we all headed to the pastor’s house for a delicious BBQ where we saw ourselves on the news, played some volleyball and badminton, and just enjoyed the company. the night was finished with a ride back to the church in the pastor’s 65 mustang while listening to his mp3 collection of 60’s music. Great two days in idaho falls
