(Keith, 23 miles) About a mile past the giant cow you come to the one-lane, "historic" Maclay Bridge crossing the Bitterroot River. Maclay Bridge was to have been replaced by a modern, 2-lane bridge many years ago but has been the subject of significant local resistance. Its days do seem numbered as rehab-ing the old bridge will cost much more than building a new bridge (after Federal funds are considered). For now it is a pleasant way to cross the river and one of the highlights of the ride.
After riding along the river - see photo from Clem's most recent ride, I diverted from my standard route and rode up O"Brien Creek Road to the border with NFS.
