Rod angered the gravel gods early on and then we had our fair share of chunky gravel. Except for the first 5km, we were on the trail right through to Idaho. Several nice bridge trestles on the way. As we were leaving Pine City we got a few cheers from kids playing in their yard. Amazing trailhead at Malden. Malden to Rosalia is in a pine forest. Found a great bakery in Rosalia. Champagne at the campsite.
