I hear the guys moving around it must be time to make our way across the border. I was thinking about what we have been doing on our motorcycle trips the last couple of years. The phrase that came to me was "We are seeing America one state at a time." This has been a great trip. One of my favorite places was Palouse Falls; it truely took my breath away. I enjoyed our visit with our good friend Alex Paul and a number of fantastic scenic roads. Where we ride next is still up for discussion. Where ever it is, if it is on a motorcycle I am sure it will be an adventure. Till the next ride.
Why do they place campgrounds next to one of these? Well, I was so tired I slept through the trains anyway.
This the last night of our journey around the State of Washington. We are in the Home Valley Campgrond on the Columbia River. It is weird looking across the river and seeing my home state. We are all pretty tired from today's ride I am going to sleep now.
What would a trip to Washington be with out a visit to Mt. Saint Helens. We were disapointed that Windy Ridge was closed. We could only view from a far. Forgive the crappy cell phone picture.
The Chehalis River looks like a creek this time of year. It runs by Rainbow Falls State Park.
Ding. The alarm sounds and I sit straight up in my sleeping bag. I hear frantic movements from the tents on each side of me. Rick is already busy packing and Ed is shuffling his gear together. I rub my eyes, yawn and join in the frenzy of movement. It is 5:00 am and we have till 5:30 to get on the road . The activity becomes more intense, each of us saying nothing as we focus on stowing our gear. After about 15 minutes Steve says good morning to Ed as they pass each other going for gear in the dark. I check the time again, 10 to go. I really need to use the restroom but decide to stay focused, the end is in sight. Rick must have to go bad, he finishes first and rides off as he says, I will meet you guys at the restroom. Ed is breathing pretty hard and seems close to being done as I follow Rick for my reward. It is very foggy as we get on the road. I can't ride more that 30 seconds before I must clear my face shield, I hate the fog. Ed leads the way as we try to keep contact with his tail light. Once again I check the time, I think we are going to make it.
Well that's the start to our 330 mile day yesterday. Today I am sleeping in at Rainbow Falls State Park. I think I will go look around now.
Big Cedar in the Olympic National Forest, cool
The locals in Forks Washington said this was the place for lunch. I would have to agree, Sully's makes a excellent burger.
Ed streches out his back at Crescent Lake.
