Day 6: A Walk in the park

So after leaving the small town of Coleville I headed east towards the Washington -Idaho border. There were some rolling hills but no more mountains which felt incredible. I was expecting an 80 mile day but it ended up my destination was only 45 miles away, So I posted up in Ione. I found maybe the nicest R.V park that I will come across on this trip, called Cedar R.V Park. The bathroom facility is way nicer than the hotel I stayed at last night. The owner gave me a great place to camp in his back yard area for free, and is letting me use his Internet and lined me up with a cold beer while I am typing this. What a guy! These simple things go along way when you are biking across the country pulling your belongings behind you. I am going to kick my legs up for the rest of the day, and am looking forward to the local Mexican restaurant tonight. Looking forward to a new state tomorrow-- Idaho !

Adam,

Sounds like things are going well. Keep up the good pace...I'm sure it feels great to leave the Cascades.

How great that you have a great host before you leave Washington. Now you will have more energy to breeze thru Idaho. 45 miles is still quite a distance. Hope you are having a relaxing evening. Mom

Hi Adam,
Keeping up with your adventure via your blog....what a great way to stay connected and let everyone hear how your days of travel are coming along.
Can't believe you've made it through the state of WA already! I'm sure you'll meet many more great people along the way.
Eric had a fun time chatting with you at the start of your trip. Stay safe and maybe I'll see you in IA.....you never know :)

Wayne, the kids, and are having a great time following your adventures. I may even propose that Landon and Olivia's classes check on your progress during their computer lab times (so keep it clean!).

We're so proud of you, dude, and we can't wait to see you again. Kim and I also were thrilled we got to see your Ft. Collins pad before you left it.
