Okanogan,WA - Tonasket,WA (28 miles)
Today we decided to rest our legs a bit before the next mountain pass, but the weather had other thoughts! Even though we only road for 28 miles, we faced a head wind the entire time so it wasn't as easy as we had planned.
Another thing we noticed was all the roadkill. It was significantly more than the other days: one deer, four snakes, a little brown bat, countless birds, and numerous unidentifiable furry creatures. It was like we were riding through a death zone. Of course it didn't help that it was 90 degrees and dry as bone.
In Tonasket we met Ivette, who we found on warmshowers.org, and she welcomed us into her home. We spent a lovely evening with her talking about family and past experiences. She baked us two batches of cookies, allowed us to take a shower, prepared a fantastic dinner, offered us beds, and allowed us to do our laundry. Her hospitality was outstanding. We are experiencing both the natural and human beauty of the united states.
