Our morning ride consisted of about 4 miles of uphill, as we had camped next to a lake that happened to be located in a canyon. After we reached the top of what seemed like a never ending climb, we were rewarded with a view of Washington high country, lots of farmland, lots of wind, but overall more lush and inviting than the previous day's desert.
We passed over rolling terrain, taking breaks in places like Wilbur, Creston, and Davenport. Creston had one gas station and one diner, and the gas station was closed.
When we got close to Spokane, my sunglasses broke, so I split off from Aaron ans Sam and went to the REI in Spokane to get a new pair. I met back up with them at Spangle, where we spent the night in a small park. The saloon here served some great food at really cheap prices. Everyone we talked to here has been very nice and helpful, and doesn't seem to mind us being hobos in their park. We decided to take a recuperative day here as well, and tomorrow morning we will be heading into Idaho, just past Lewiston.
