Bicycle riding in Eastern Washington, the Palouse-Dayton, Walla Walla Region 15-18JULY2010
Russ, Luke, and I as well as Peter decided to head off to Eastern Washington to do some cycle riding.
The above photo includes Pete, Howie, Jake, Lucas, and Russ standing in the Blue Mountains after visiting an old family hunting site.
We stayed with a relative of Russ, Howie, who has a cabin in the Blue Mountains of eastern Washington, next to his charming Bruder Jake.
Howie is on the left, Jake on the right. We did short and long rides each day. The weather was gorgeous, though a bit hot for my liking, being up to 33?. The Palouse contains not only the Blue Mountains but wheat fields as far as the eye could see. You can see our motley crew resting by a wheat field.
Each evening, we cooked up a meal, and Lucas would retreat to study. Study? My goodness, he has forgotten that he graduated from college!
Reality hit, and he had to pack off back home…
