I’m so glad Steptoe worked out for you. It’s such an astonishing spot. I first was aware of it when I saw a framed photo from there at an art fair about twenty years ago, and knew it was a place I had to see for myself someday.

¡Nos vemos en España!

Delightful journey! Thanks for all the nature photos!

Me, too!

Thanks for following along, and for the technological intel on my bike. It was a solid machine for the trip, even if the low gears did slow my roll more than usual.

Thanks for an informative journal.

So that makes 5 flower species today that aren't invasive based on the references. Nice change!

That looks right to me Bill.

Who knew a coffee substitute like chicory would be so pretty?

Might be tansy.

Probably perennial pea.

Kind of fuzzy, but probably beardtongue.

Thanks Kelly! We really had no notion of what the Gorge was when we planned the trip. I can't imagine a better finale for scenery.

That's an excellent last day of the tour. I've enjoyed riding along with you!

Thank you! We had some good R&R time here. I'll be back with an update in a day or so.
