We stopped at a fresh fruit stand at the intersection of Highways 97 and 2, and ate a basket of fresh, delicious Rainier cherries. Then we proceeded down U.S. 2 which again was mostly downhill to the town of Cashmere, WA for a beer and some chili. Next we are headed to the Wenatchee Confluence State Park for the night.

ReplyDeleteGreg,
ReplyDeleteMost interesting blogging!
Mom and I are reading intensely to see what is happening with you and Aaron. If there was not a challenge, you would not have enjoyed the trip. I am worn out just reading each story. Your son seems to be keeping up with you or is it the other way around? Alice called yesterday to tell us what she learned from your phone call. Stay refreshed and drink a lot of water and hydrate yourselves. The up-the-mountains are tough, but the down-the-mountains have got to be a thrill....... use you brakes to avoid a crash. I don't think I have ever had that much energy...... well maybe in Dyersville when I had to carry all the new merchandise from the basement to the the first floor or the balcony or the 3rd floor..... hundreds of pounds every day. That was when I was your age or a little younger. Ride safe, eat light, hydrate, get lots of rest & sleep, start your day early, call your wife when you can and keep the blogs coming. If I do not hear from you in 2 or 3 days..... we will be coming to get you and bring you home. .... Just kidding.
Huggs from Mom & Dad...... your biggest fans in Iowa.
