| Sawtooth Mountains near Stanley, Idaho |
Last night I camped out near Lower Stanley, Idaho. This morning I was walking south of Stanley on Highway 75 and got a ride to this bridge just south of Redfish Lake. I then walked around two miles and this guy pulled over to give me a ride. His name was Mark and he and his son-in-law and grandson had been out backpacking in the Sawtooth Mountains and were heading back to Hailey.
Mark said he used to hitchhike quite a bit back in the 1970s. I told Mark that I had been hitchhiking the United States for a number of years. He then told me that he used to live in Ellensburg, Washington back in 1985. I told Mark that I lived in Ellensburg back in 1986 and 1987. We discovered that we knew some of the same people. I mentioned a guy named Jude Doty who used to have a Christian Hostel on South Pearl Street; Mark knew Jude. Then I told Mark that I used to do some ranch work for Arvin Marchel; Mark knew Arvin. I said that I used to go to the Bethel Gospel Church while I was in Ellensburg and asked Mark if he knew Pastor Coussart; Mark knew Pastor Coussart.
