And today I checked out another rail trail not too far from home. I didn't have as much time today because of rain, so I only rode as far as the "Kissing Bridge" (about 15 km one way)! I knew some on on here liked covered bridges so I had to go and get the picture!

Well... technically this wasn't a bike ride... but we wanted to get out of Dodge as it were, because yesterday there was a big parade that goes down one street away from us. The parade itself is not the issue, but they don't adequately divert traffic, so everyone that usually uses the 4 lane arterial tries to divert down our little essentially one lane residential street... Over the years we've seen lots of stupid stuff (like the person who drove down the sidewalk...) and had our car hit. As long as we were going to drive somewhere we decided to take a hike. We went to Mount Defiance, in the Alpine Lakes region (Snoqualamie Pass)

So pretty, Eden. It reminds of our trip to Oregon. I loved the hiking there.

Cosc, your ‘Celebrate 40 tour’ journal ended tooooo soon!!!! I enjoyed reading it!!!

Eden, it must be wonderful to live close to the Cascades and such great hiking. Fir trees can make images so peaceful and your images are so that!!

Well, this is where I wanted to ride. It's my favorite bike path - it goes down the hill and follows along what's usually beside the river, and goes under the bridge and continues on --



Should've brought a snorkel! That's the Arkansas River. Back in June, it was a parched channel with puddles. We'd been in a severe drought. Then July was our fourth wettest in history. And we're still getting more rain. Sure has been a crazy year!

Went cycling up on Whidbey Island today

Deborajen, you just have to get inventive
