Day 5: Hailey to Easley Hot Springs
Not on the Harriman Trail
Another fine breakfast by Susan we are off. We ride the 12 mile bike path back to Ketchum.
We stop at the Sawtooth National Recreation Visitor Center for advice about the campgrounds. The host tells us that most campgrounds will be full. Opposite the visitor Center is the beginning of the Harriman Trail. This looks a bit rough and we decide that we could make better time and conserve energy by staying on the road. We plan to come back with our teardrop trailer and camp near the trail to ride unloaded.
The traffic gives us room and there is a bit of shoulder.

We stop at the Easley Campground rather than reaching the Prairie Creek CG. Here there is a store and a commercial Hotsprings. Patrick buys a cold drink and chips for camp.
The campground is empty.
Later in the evening another camper shows up, we stop to talk with the older couple. They are Mike and Becky from New York. Their son now works as a guide in Idaho and they are visiting.
The mosquitos are not too bad, but we get in the tent and read.
Today's ride: 29 miles (47 km)
Total: 250 miles (402 km)
