Drying Out in Western Washington

 6/3

Onward to Wilbur.  Just north of Ephrata is Soap Lake, where I had stayed during my first x-country ride of this century in 2012, on the way to visit Grand Coulee Dam.  A shining example of what we can do when we put our minds to it.   Below is a shining example of what we can do when we lose our minds;

'nuff said

Landscape looks more like desert.  Without irrigation from the Grand Coulee it would all be...  Otherwise uneventful ride with nice tail winds.   Not as hot, but still in the mid-90's

6/4:  To Spokane

Cooler.   Only mid-80's.  Nice tail winds and a familiar ride.   This is the 4th time along this stretch of road for me.  Dinner at Clinkendagger overlooking Spokane Falls was the high point of the day.

I'll have the Scallops

Spokane Falls from my table.
