Wow! What an amazing, gorgeous, and inspiring view of our country today. We left out at 7:00 AM in brilliant sunshine...the first in 6 days! It was cold. The Columbia River basis was an ancient glacier and has the wide valley bottom with the step sides. Ribbons of white water flow out of the spruce and pine forests, and tumble into the valley below. At one spot mist from the a falls blew across the road as we passed by. After a much need pit stop we crossed over a high pass in the Cascades, complete with snow, and even a frozen lake. The views were amazing.
Once over the mountain the eco system changed dramatically to high dessert terrain. We stopped for another gas up and it looked like the whole town showed up. It is quite a site to see this many bikes on the road at one time. This morning people lined the street like a parade was happening. Lots of fun.
Beautiful scenery. How many bikes are on trip?
