Day 6

We rode out of town at night, after filling up water at some people’s houses, and rode in the night for a little while. I started getting a cough at the end of day three. It had been getting worse, and I was very tired. That’s probably the reason that so many of the recent photos are by Silvan.
Anyway that night we camped off of a hiking trail in a very nice spot. I woke up in the night in a cold puddle of sweat even though it was plenty warm out. I knew I had a fever, and I bundled up in my sleeping bag liner and sleeping bag and fell back asleep.

We then rolled into a ghost town. I took a nap while Silvan took photos around town.

Hotter than the naked bike ride.

At the beginning of the day I called my mom. Not to tell her about my trip, but per usual to complain about my ailments: I have a cough accompanied by green mucus which started at the end of day three. I also have inflamed lymph nodes along the left side of my neck but not my right. I also had one inflamed node below my left ear. Also swallowing was painful when my head was tilted backwards. She tried to get in contact with a doc about 12 miles out of our way in Moses. She was out of town for the weekend, so we continued on our way with a little over 100 miles to go to Moscow, ID where there was a doctor that I could see.
