I'm in Kettle Falls Wa., approximately 150 miles from the start. Cold and wet weather yesterday and today. Hoping for sunshine tomorrow.

Took several great pictures today including the one on the right. Still learning how to use blogger and transfer pictures from my camera.

Found a great little organic food store today with wifi access to the internet. I even figured out how to access it!!!

Thanks to everyone who rode with me to Newport Wa. Over $800 was raised for the Panhandle Alliance for Education's early childhood literacy program. Over $10,000 has been pledged for the program and we are just beginning the fundraising efforts. Thanks to everyone for the support. The children will be very appreciative.

Plan to tackle two passes tomorrow and about 90 miles.

Great picture, Dick. I am following your trip all the way. Retiring this year from SMS.

Mel, only two days in and you're chewing up the miles. Way to go with the fundraising as well. I hope other visitors here remember they can hit the "Pledge" or "Donate" buttons and give you a little more "fuel".
