Guess who biked across Washington State?

Woman bicycling in the mountains
Crossing the Cascade Mountains is similar to crossing the Continental Divide. (Hi Cheryl.)

Can you imagine biking 32 miles round trip, with a 3,300’ elevation gain? And did i mention doing it again as you creep into your mid-60’s?

Can you imagine biking across Washington State with only $200 cash? And on a honeymoon?

Weeping Wall

Weeping Wall is a memorable location.

To be in this place, with no cars, for the entire day, is remarkable.

Unrushed.

A definite “how bad do you want to do this” endeavor.

All the creeks and waterfalls are on full blast.

Stunningly quiet without vehicular motor noise.

Occasionally noisy with joyous and exuberant yelling.

Chamber of Commerce Day

Snapped this photo trying to capture the tiny songbird. The bird isn’t visible in this picture, but the photo is delightfully barren.
The grandeur and solitude are almost overwhelming – in a great way.
Green is in this month, in a big way.
As often is the case, photos don’t do Glacier justice.
Breathtaking if you ask me.
Looking Northwest over my left shoulder as i bike up, iconic Heaven’s Peak.
Not sure why this view never gets old.
Optimistic that everything is coming together for a great recording in a couple hours.
Right middle are tiny dots (bikers) in front of the snowdrift.
Howdy Mt. Clements. Added a couple layers because temps dropped as i neared the Pass.
Howdy (retirees) bikers biking from Vancouver to Boston.
An i was there shot. How can you not?

Chamber of Commerce Day.

Yesterday morning’s weather was “picture perfect”.

No wind. No cold temps. 

Short sleeve tee, sunscreen, snacks and water. Traveling light. 

Wanted to stay at Logan Pass the rest of the afternoon. 

Literally breathtaking. 

But after the previous day’s rain-soaked descent, i didn’t want a repeat. 

Without any cell-signal, you have to rely on your own “professional” forecast and your own sky-reading ability.

The painful choice to not linger was easy. 

i’d rather get to the bottom and be wrong than to stay at the top and be wrong. 

i was right.

Thank goodness for goodness

Madrid post office is two blocks from hotel.
Just getting started last night.
Last night, an hour bike ride.
Madrid park last night.

Thank goodness for goodness.

While i couldn’t get the Mobike app to work, i was able to easily unlock the bike and ride. Fully expecting to pay $1.11 per 20-minute time blocks, the app wouldn’t let me.

Grateful the bike unlocked somehow. Otherwise, the evening would have been different – still filled with goodness, but different.
