DAY 7 NOT IN CANADA YET!

ROUTE FRIDAY

I-82 out of Yakima, 97 N from Ellensburg, 2 to Davenport, 25 along Columbia to Kettle Falls, south 395 to Colville.

Dinner last night talk turned to how grateful we are to be retired, how thankful that we made it to this point and are still enjoying ourselves. We were all thinking of Officer Glasser and the recent tragic events back in Phoenix. An unrequested but unanimous moment of silent reflection followed. This made me think of the Zac Brown song reference returning soldiers.

What can you see from your window?
I can't see anything from mine
Flags on the side of the highway
And scripture on grocery store signs
Maybe eighteen was too early
Maybe thirty or forty is too
Did you get your chance to make peace with the man
Before he sent down his angels for you?



This morning we headed out down another beautiful two lane road beside a river with white water rafting, fisherman, and a few guys in row boats just another beautiful morning. After lunch the road turned straight and fast with spring wheat crops for miles on both sides of the road. Canada tomorrow then working west toward Whistler BC.

Nice post and tribute to Officer Glasser. Glad you are all able to ride and take the time to enjoy life.
