Thanks for the encouragement Marilyn! The views have been amazing! It has been difficult to get my food intake right but I think today went a lot better than the previous passes. I am learning!

Colville is a few days away. Haven’t planned our sleeping arrangements that far ahead. But it is highly likely we will stay at the hostel

Sorry to hear you had a rainy day for the passes. We feel very fortunate to have good weather so far.
Have you run into any fellow bike tourers? We met a guy going to Minnesota and two girls going to Maine.
We do not have shirts with behind bars. We all have a blue “pedal America “ jersey.
We are doing loup loup tomorrow and will end up in Omak. The following day we are doing a short ride to Tonasek. Perhaps we can meet up there?

Safe travels!! Hope the weather is better for you!

This elevation picture is from Strava. For navigation we have adventure cycling paper maps and we use RideWithGPS app. Janet found gpx from someone that rode the northern tier previously and downloaded them into RideWithGPS. We also use google maps for distance estimates.
