Day 29
Left Omak on Route 155 quickly climbed into the mountains before dropping down to Grand Coulee Dam. Stopped for a picture at the viewpoint and left on 174 then onto route 2 to Spokane.
Then it was time (sadly) to give up the cool mountain roads and start riding interstates to head towards home a little faster. I-90 into Missoula where a trip to the hot tub and a short walk to an eclectic pizza/pasta joint for a great dinner. Finished off dinner with a shared desert and a scoop of ice cream with fresh Huckleberries, what luck they were in season!
Day 30
500 miles today and I'm tired, not hard miles all on interstate. I-90 to I-15 south to Brigham City. Weather was fairly cooperative, left with a temperature of 51 with jackets on and managed to need them for the first several hours before packing them away possible for the last time.
After several weeks of jackets being the norm none of us are ready for the heat that is sure to come in the next few days.
Looking forward to home but I still enjoy the ride and I still can wake up in a bad mood throw a leg over, head down a new road and feel all my worries and cares just melt away.
That first few minutes in the morning with the radio off just listening to the wind and the engine can't help but make you smile and feel all is right with the world.
