Yesterday was a big miles, big hills, big wind, and a not so big highway with BIG trucks! We road 101 miles and it took all day! We rolled out of camp at 8:20 and keept a good pace into Shelton despite the big hills. We keept trucking through and made it outside of Elma before stopping for a well deserved bottle of chocolate milk and an apple :) Onward to Oakville where we stopped at a little coffee shack and had our lunch and chatted up the shack girl who was amazed that we had been in Seattle 2 days before. Bellies full and we set out on our highway section where we had lots of friends... Trucks being those friends, but for the most part they were pretty nice. Mist would move out of the way and some would even wave... Wow! They don't do that in California. The highway took us into Centralia which I swore was Critronella. Out of town and into more hills which FINALLY brought us to our state park and some other bike tourers who we hung out with for the evening. It was lights out by 9 and Scott and I couldn't have been more proud of our day!
On a side note I was chased by 2 different sets of dogs yesterday; we saw deer, bunnies, orange chested birds, snakes, slugs, cows, goats and horses; Scott broke a spoke on his rear wheel, and I paid $1 for and ice cold shower which reduced me to tears! (I got over it with the help of beer).
