Leaving camp around 9:00 Natalie and I set out ahead of Linus and Katie hoping see them in Libby, Mt for lunch.
After about 14 miles we were sorry to have to turn off of Hwy 56. We turned onto US Hwy 2 and followed the Kootenai River. We stopped to see the Kootenai Falls which were impressive. 
After a good lunch in Libby we headed out on Hwy 37 towards Eureka. We continued along the Kootenai River and the day was proving to be another fantastic day of riding. As we got close to the Kootenai dam we had to make a choice on whether to stay on Hwy 37 or to take the west side road option of Forest Service rd 228. USFS 228 was promised to have little to no traffic but was longer and more hills. We did not hesitate to take 228. We had to climb above the dam but reached our campground without further difficulty. It was the McGillivray campground located on Lake Koocanusa. Lake Koocanusa gets its name from Koo(tenai Tribe)- Can(ada)- Usa (as in USA).
Put another nice day of cycling in the books.
Kootenai Falls, was it runable
Dennis- I definitely thought about that when I looked at it. I think it would extremely dicey. No in my opinion.
I think you have turned me into a river rat!
