Today. Really today was such a lovely ride. It was a 64 mile ride with about 2500 feet of climb. We rode by this meandering tributary of the the Columbia River, it might be called the Methow River.
 |
| When there is a lull in the traffic the quiet sounds of the river and birds are perfect. |
 |
| We did start off with a wonderful downhill. That's Judy enjoying the ride! Go Judy! |
 |
| During a ride stop I got to see the white bellied father, on the left, bring food for the Osprey babies. |
 |
| I don't know what's behind the fortress looking trees. |
 |
| That deteriorated wooden swing bridge looked amazing to still be up. I saw 3 others that were metal in various stages of decay. |
These were the clouds behind us when we had about 8-9 more miles. It was a race in, we all arrived dry. Then at dinner, one my favs-spaghetti, it did rain. We were outside! We made it in to the lobby for our map meeting! Speaking of which tomorrow will have some challenges. Long miles and high climbs, I'm hoping the weather holds!
After thoughts. The white piece in the background is a low long and wide covering for the growing plants. Not sure of the what or why and was only seen in this area.

| Just wanted to say good night with something pretty! |
