We started off on a quiet road that followed a sparkling river. It was a beautiful way to start our day.
We had some great views of cattle and horses in pastures down in the valley. There are a lot of cherry trees in this area and many fruit stands along the road. Jerry, Rod and I stopped by a stand and shared a small basket of cherries. We called this our first real "pit" stop. A lady at the fruit stand asked why we were biking. After I explained the purpose of our ride she reached in her purse and gave me a donation for Sea to Sea. 
Later in the day, we had a long uphill that nearly did us all in. We took advantage of a mountain stream to soak our helmets and a few towels for our necks.
We stayed in a campground that had a small brook right behind my tent. It was great to sleep with constant sound of the running water. It continues to get quite cold at night. I use a lot of clothes to stay warm at night.
