Day 2 Cascade Locks to Columbia Hills State Park





Cycling Statistics (in metric because it's the beauty way to go (Note: bavetta does not like metric and he calls himself an engineer??))
Distance: 87.6 km (54.4 mi)
Riding Time: 6 hours 21 minutes
Vertical: 850.4 m (2790 ft)
Notes on the day:
-Started with the 1000 ft hill we never found yesterday which wasn't on the map today.
-Rode on I-84 for about 10 miles with a harrowing 1 mile section of narrow shoulder and debris.
-Saw a "Litter and it will hurt" sign. Notice the lack of a direct object. Will it hurt me, the enviroment, the people cleaning the highway?
- Locals in Hood River mislead us about the hills. "not that bad."
-3rd hill is through very pretty cherry farms, still uphill though.
-A semi passed us while we were talking to the fisherman on the bridge at the Dalles. We decide to walk our bikes across the rest of the bridge.
-Miss Lewis and Clark reenactment at the state park by an hour. Apparently this guy comes every sunday and shoots off a blunderbuss.
-Met 5 people who travelled across the country by bike.
Person:"You'll hate each other by the end."
Jesse:"We already do."
Bavetta:"Why are you riding next to me. Get out of my face."
-Met old couple who were travelling the country by bike too. They had already gone from NYC to Astoria and were on their way back.

I think the "litter" sign was pretty obvious, Jesse, you silly punk.
