The end draws near


The first of our passes in Washington states. We thought the Rockies would be hard, and it turned out they were no big deal. The Cascades, on the other hand, were the real challenge. The high on this day was 104. Two days later brought a 25- mile uphill.



Washinton state! One state left...



Along the Going to the sun highway, nearing the top of the Rockies (for us)




Glacier National park and the Rockies. It was a windy, beautiful, awe-inspiring ride along the Going-to-the-sun highway up to Logan Pass.

One of the coolest stops. We met a guy from the Belknap Indian Reservation, and he brought us to the reservations' office. There we spoke with him for a long time and then received a blessing in the tribe's native language.


The best game ever! Dan tied a string to a plastic bag and then people tried to throw rocks in. I guess that's what you do in the middle of nowhere...Also, you can see that the bag is straight out in the air. We had a killer wind that day, and were slogging along at 9mph. When we pulled into the lunchstop, dan pointed to the bag and said "well, I'd say we've got a West wind".
