Woke up late because I forgot to set an alarm and the motel room bed was comfortable. Rode north into Sun Valley to look at the scenery. It is absolutely gorgeous out there. If you are ever within 100 miles of it, it's worth the detour. Went in about 10-15 miles before I turned around. A lot of it is unmaintained road, so there were a lot of potholes I had to swerve around. Coming back, I think I really confused a bicyclist. Being as it was all downhill, and I had to go relatively slow (20-30 mph), I decided to save some gas and I turned off the engine and coasted down, but with the key still in the on position, my headlight was still on. He gave me a really funny look as I passed him, being as I wasn't making any noise. Also, it seems that the odometer doesn't tick if the engine isn't running.
Back through Ketchum, and Hailey, I continued back down 75, going all the way to 84 and headed East. Stopped in Burley for a quick break. Found a Kiwi Loco on accident, so I stopped and chowed down on a bit of frozen yogurt.
Out of Burley, I continued on 84 East past the 86 junction. I got about 25 miles before I remembered that I wanted to go north, through Yellowstone. Turned around and haded towards 86 East, but they were doing construction on the junction, and I was forced to take 84 Weat until I found a place to turn around (again), about 10 miles down the highway. Back down 84 East to 86 East, I kept riding until I hit Idaho Falls and grabbed a hotel room for the night.
No map for today as my phone had a temper tantrum and lost it before I could upload it to Google Maps.
