Pittsburgh

Our sixth day and we did our best to get an early start given the heat that was building later in the day.  So we packed up and pushed off from Ohiopyle after egg and cheese bagel sandwiches
So long Ohiopyle and thank you Falls Market!
We hit a few waterfalls in an attempt to beat the heat...

And we even had to wear super cool sun hats to protect the Ginger's from those intense UV rays...
It was legit HOT!!!
We were rescued by our family and two furry friends and piled into our fancy fancy hotel!!
With a great view that we are all enjoying
Wonderful to be with the family after getting beat up by the Ridge and Valleys of Pennsylvania.  We have our first rest day tomorrow after peddling 352 miles from home and into the beginning of the middle of North America 
Be well.  Until next time.

Anacortes, WA

Our last couple of rides were stunningly beautiful with a crisp on shore breeze.  We left the mountains but we could still see the snow covered peaks... We rode from Marblemount, WA along the Skagit River, West towards the Pacific... The forest was full of lichens and mosses... We hopped on a green tunnel in Concrete (Henry is in this photo)... That took us almost all the way to Burlington where we snuck into town on the levee... On our final, mostly ceremonial ride, we took a few back roads towards Anacortes... And quickly found ourselves riding along the ocean... We reached the bike path that takes you into town... We biked through town and made our way to the beach racing each other up the small hills when we came upon a wonderful surprise... Our friends The Maley's were at the beach with Tibetan Prayer flag...

Ione, WA

We got a relatively early start and hammered towards Ione, WA to keep trying to beat the heat.  We rode along the Pend Oreille River all morning... And peddled through the Kalispel Nation... Where there was a massive Pow Wow facility... While we were riding, Bonnie went for a run along Bear Lake... Towards the end of the ride the heat caught us... In dry eastern Washington... We arrived a little early in Ione and we were treated with snowmobiles racing across the lake....the ones making a wake in the midde are snowmobiles!!! The end of our adventure is fast approaching but maybe not fast enough for some of us...

Libby, MT

A little heat wave is hitting the Northwest and we certainly felt it on the ride into Libby, MT... We road the rest of the length of Lake Koocanusa... All the way to the Libby dam that created the lake... Where we met up with Bonnie and got some cold drinks before making our way to Libby... Here, Henry is letting me know what the best Gatorade flavor is and why and I think I finally get it... After the Libby Dam, we road along the Kootenai River... We were hot and exposed before getting to the City of Eagles, Libby, MT... And hiked out to these falls on the west side of town this am... Planning to hide from the heat and take a few rest days until it hopefully breaks on Monday...
