We left Leavenworth and headed toward Waterville. On the way, we stopped in Cashmere to explore the town and tour their candy factory. The terrain is changing. Lots of orchards - cherries, apples, and pears - and mountains, sparse with little vegetation. The challenge today was the seven mile climb in Pine Canyon. The ride was short today, only 45 miles. Perhaps this is in preparation for our 72 mile ride tomorrow, our longest day since we started the trip. No more rain and temperatures in the low 80's. Part of the day we followed the Columbia River.
Susan,
ReplyDeleteThanks for keepingus informed of your travels and your touring opportunities. I am glad you are realizing your dream of cycling across the country.
Susan,
ReplyDeleteOne of the church members (Lars) in Wilbur - where you are going today - drove some of us to the light show at Grand Coulee Dam. This would be worth seeing if you get a chance.
Mike
