Walla Walla, here we come

A pretty chill night at the KOA..51 when I got up, so had to use the blankie, but stayed warm & slept 'till 7:30. A few cars early, but no motorcycles! Cook some breakfast, packup for a ride in Washington state. It's downhill for 20 miles thru a lovely canyon & lots of wind-turbines on the hills, and they were turning! A small herd of deer ran in front of me, some quail and not many autos. I stopped at an L&C marker-a campsite for may 3rd, 1806 on their return trip. The Corps was in this valley, returning from the Pacific. down to Rt 1 and a left toward Dayton, WA, and a very tough 5-mile uphill to highlight the day. finally I get phone service and call KK who is waiting at another L&C marker, but this one is bigger & has the entire Corps, made up with iron sculptures, and placed where the person thought they might be when camped-horses, dogs, the whole deal..very well done! ( and on the actual site of the encampment.) We had a sandwich here and proceeded on to Walla Walla. No campsite were listed for WW,but as we drove into town, there was The"Fairway RV Park"..pretty nice and 30 bucks and only 1 mile from downtown & all of the wineries! We set up and go for a spin into town and it's very nice, and there's actually 73 wineries in the area! So let's get to tastin'! We ride about 16 miles on the streets--bike lanes- and also some paths on Mill Creek. A few pics and back to camp to cook supper, shower and go shoppin'...and yes, you guessed it..a DQ! and got gas..it's 4.12 here, but not close to the high of the trip in Glacier, where it was 4.59! Looks like we'll stay here two nights and enjoy the wine. 55 miles & 2900' today..KK, 16..for those of you keeping "score"at home, I now have ridden 1835 miles & climbed 51, 200'..kk has ridden 497 so far and that's good! but she'sbehind in her scrappin'. Oh, did I mention onions? It's -sweet white onions-a big industry here & giant ones are all over town, just like our buffalos.
