Day 9, 6/20/09 boy are we tired (Cormac)

Les and Karen invite us round for some breakfast, and Lindsey has some non-fish meat for the first time since september of 2001. It is a piece of bacon, and it was delicious. She says she might also try some bison meat as we head through montana.

After 3 passes in 3 days, we are both feeling tired, and Lindsey's knee starts to hurt. We debate about how far to go and end up having a very, very short day, staying just east of republic, WA, after only going 30 miles. We spend most of the day in the Library, reading books and not updating our blog.

We end up at the Ferry county fair grounds (where the camping appears to be free), and there is a wedding going on. I strike up a conversation with a few of the folks there, and they take us in to this indoor carousel, which had been rebuilt by each horse, and each fixture being sponsored by a different person in town. Lindsey and I both ride at their encouragement, and have a blast.

Again, we sleep like logs.
