What to do on a QUIET Sunday......

Woke up to a partly sunny and breezy morning, with pine needles and cones dropping on our RV sounding like rain.  We enjoyed a Sunday breakfast of eggs, bacon, and toast; and then Morey biked over to the local store and picked up the Sunday paper.  Found out later it was only the Sunday section -- guess they hadn't received the "news" portion yet!

Ruthie then picked out a biking trip based on one of those slick free tourist maps -- you know, the ones with the ads surrounding the not-to-scale map drawing.  So we took the Chiwawa Loop Road to Beaver Valley Road and then back to the State Park.  We didn't know distances or elevations.....And we are near Stevens Pass, so it is mountainous!!

What a ride! Turned out to be a 16 mile, mostly downhill (I know that this is impossible) ride.  Great vistas to see.  We knew we would be ok since if there were to be a very hilly road, it would have been called "Beaver Mountain Rd." and not "Beaver Valley Rd."

Oh, and almost forgot....Ruthie came across a pioneer family on the ride.  Think they made a wrong turn from the Oregon Trail.  We gave them directions to Portland and they headed out.
