Notes on the day:
-Stiff headwind slowed our avg speed to 9.5 mph. Downhill travel was extremely hard.
-Riding through semi-arid country we almost ran out of water. We now carry a secret reserve stash.
- Met an old woman named Bessie fishing at Sundale park. Gave us some ice, we then helped her friend up from a sitting postition. Got water from the nice workers at Sundale fruit farms.
-Saw cute baby goats.
-Decided Bavetta is Lewis and I am Clark, mainly because Bavetta is more of a Merriwether than I am.
-Turned into a one lane road because of construction for a short time.
-Trees all disappeared. No tress in Washington or Oregon after the Dalles.
-The Roosevelt Park is excellent with world-class windsurfing, but has hi-pressure sprinklers which act as an alarm at 2:30 in the morning.
-The restaurant in Roosevelt listed on our map is closed on Mondays. The mini mart on the other hand is awesome. The owner is a reenacter and shows us how to make char cloth and old-style cigarette lighters. He also gives us a pound of Washington Cherries for free.
-Stopped at Stonehendge War Memorial. Shop only carries ice cream and water. We then blew that popsicle stand.
-Started day with huge hill out of campsite.
-Also, it has been determined that I hate snacks or perhaps more accurately snack breaks.
-Locals tells us we don't know wind.
-Met trucker who had broken his transmission, when he finds out that we are travelling the country on our bikes, "Ya'll didn't look that stupid right off."
