Touchet, my friend

Holy cow! we wake up at 6am..what time is it really? but back to sleep & finally up at 7:15..cook some bacon, eggs & toast and get ready to ride, but first, wash dishes and help with laundry..i'm out at 9:40 and headed out westerly on rt 12. Pretty heavy traffic, especially trucks, but the shoulder is wide and smooth. I decided to turn around at about 27 miles & head back, so I didn't quite make the Columbia River. Back toward Walla Walla and lunch in Touchet-Subway- before taking a side trip to WW University & a purchase or two--success! Back into town, via poplar ave and over to the RV park & here comes KK!! she rode 23 miles this morning after I left and shopped, did laundry, so a big day for her! I hit the showers and out we go for Wally & an oil change-you know you've been out for a long time when you have to get two oil changes. Then we go to a winery-Reininger- for some tasting & purchases. A short drive back into WW and dinner at the Destination Grill, the old RR depot, and what a great meal! KK had the Pacific salmon, in a feta cheese & polenta sauce..the BEST! (she says of the trip so far). I had the seared sesame crusted Ahi tuna-FAB! Back to camp to wotk on the stove, the bike and BLOG! a good day for all! I rode 60 miles & climbed 1700'..KK 23 miles.
