After leaving the Skeena River and the snow capped peaks behind us, we are now in farm and ranch country. That doesn't mean we are out of hills, however. Today we climbed over 1100 feet in 27 miles up Hungry Hill (summit, 2763) and then zoomed downhill into Houston.
Just about 1/2 mile from our campground Cal had a major blowout on the same tire as yesterday, so he limped into camp and replaced tube and tire. Hopefully that one will make it the rest of the way home.
We only rode 42 miles today, but that felt like just enough. We are in a beautiful, shady campground, and I have the Solio sitting out in the sun recharging

  1. Have been following your post for about a month. Came back from a weekend away and noticed that you had the opportunity to write for a few days straight. I hope to one day be able to take a trip of this kind with my husband. Thanks for showing us your days.
