Day 17-18



We're in Washington! And here's the picture to prove it. I tried to get Terry but only got a fraction of her front tire. I was at the side of a very busy bridge crossing the Snake River and there was no shoulder.

The past two days took us into the hills of Idaho. We got on top and noticed a hay barn. Actually Rhett beat us to the top and was sitting in the shade. Here's a picture of Rhett and his mom.

We had a milestone yesterday. We rode our 1000th mile. I caught the odometer at 999.99.

Today was a tough 95 miles. Many hills and the toughest was climbing out of the Snake River Canyon near Clarkston up to Pomeroy. Then we rode cross country, literally, to a secluded campground on the Tucannon River about 13 miles southwest of Pomeroy. Tomorrow we're off to Walla Walla where we have a rest day planned.

Hope to see some of you on Swerve-n-Curve this weekend.

Love the pictures and blogging! What an adventure!

The corn is taller than ever; the elk are back; the kitties are fat; plants are still green; and the lawn will be freshly mowed!

I miss my neighbors!!! Love U!
