Day 3 = 60.2 miles
Total = 116.4 miles
Enjoyed the unplanned hotel. Made a Safeway run for fresh bagels and we were on our way. On the way to Elma saw a deer in the middle of the road. If we had been in a car that would have been an "oh shit " moment but on the bike it's a "oh wow" one. Ran into another couple touring on bikes from Australia (jill and bruce) they were headed south to north. We traded some logistics and experience info then wished them good travels and we were on our way again
We were greeted in Elma by the air raid siren going off. I realized we hadn't watched the news or seen a paper in days. It could have been the end of the world for all we knew. Had lunch at a little burger joint since every other restaurant in town was either closed for good or at least just for Sunday.
Nice ride through a valley to Centralia where we stopped to camp in an RV park for the evening. Not as scenic as the state parks but it has a great shower and laundry facilities. First chance we have had since leaving on amtrak for laundry.
From Donnie: I just want to give props to my honey Susan for her cycling chops especially with hills starting out. We are having a great time riding and camping. We are well on our way along our great adventure.
