What day is it?

Just a quick note here, while I have reception. I haven't had much of anyone to talk to since leaving the Methow, and it's starting to get to me a bit. I've had fun too, though.

After leaving Tonasket, I biked over Wauconda pass. I stopped for a bite in Wauconda, and I met a man who was heading to Coleville to be a judge at a rodeo! He told about what goes into that sort of thing, and I told him a bit about my trip so far.

After making it over the pass, I went about six miles up Hwy 21 and camped at Curlew State Park, which was lovely.



The next day (yesterday) was pretty rough until the end of it. Going up Sherman Pass was a heck of a slog, with little/no reward at the end. The pass has no view, plus it was freezing cold and raining.




I was nearly in tears coming down the other side of this into Kettle Falls, I was so miserable.

The bright spot in the day was making it to the Bacon Bike Hostel, outside of Coleville. It is run by a couple who just wants to help out bikers! For free! Nothing asked in return. They let bikers stay in the top floor of their home. I happened to be the only one there, so I basically had my own house.



Warming up with hot cocoa.

Today I made a friend as I was biking away, I hope he didn't follow me too far!



Perhaps not his best side...

Now I'm about 20 miles from my stopping point, where I probably won't have reception. Tomorrow I hope to make it into Sandpoint!

Thinking of my friends and family, Muah muah. Happy Fathers Day, dad!
