It's all about Spokane

400 miles to get here, was about 100 more than I want to do these days.  For a northerly route, thought about heading into Canada, but that meant for another 400 mile day so something a little less ambitous made sense


Hiway 291 along Long Lake was pretty enough...
 
...with an interesting dam at the western edge


North on hiway 395 lead me to Kettle Falls where it connects with 25 which I wanted to take south along the Columbia River / Lake Roosevelt.  


The early afternoon was warming up nicel and since I was "packing"...


...couldn't pass up the opportunity to swim and got in about 200 meters. 


I swim between 500 and 1000 meters 2x per week, so to break up a day's ride felt pretty special.

The riding was perfect, the kind that makes you giggle just because it does.




Two Rivers Resort where 25 leaves the water




I enjoy taking in the farms among the wheat.  Some are so tidy and neat, and I would love to spend a day with them and watch their operation come planting / harvest season




And it is harvest time...I stopped several times to watch the combines at work and a few people stopped to check to see if I was OK : )


It was all good.
