Cashmere, WA: rest day!

June 16, 2015

Jacinto swore he would sleep in until 7 AM. I asked why that was special, he sleeps in until later than that on a normal day, by several hours!

We wandered over to the little smoothie/sandwich place next door and had breakfast. I had a meatloaf sandwich without the bread and with two fried eggs. She looked at me a little funny, but it tasted excellent.

We had been bemoaning that the grocery store was back by the highway. We did find a Quick Mart around the corner that was very well stocked. Jacinto and I spent $46. on food for tomorrow. I do believe the grocery would be cheaper. The restaurants here are certainly cheaper.

Oren has a mocha coffee, parfait, and a breakfast sandwich. Did he forget we aren't riding today?

Oren is trying to decide for whom this would be the most appropriate gift.

I've seen several of these little gnome doors downtown. They are whimsical.

I love a whole bunch of nothing rest days. This is a cute little town with a distillery and a candy factory to tour. Did we do those things? Nope. Could we be stirred to walk or ride back to the highway to buy fresh cherries? Nope. I took a nap, Jacinto watched TV, that so difficult we had to go eat dinner. Mexican this time.

Now we are back in the room and discussing routing for the morning. I don't mind climbing, but I don't want to get lost. However, I would like a photo of Deadmans Hill. I think we've all agreed we are going to give Old Blewett Hill a try, Wayne Este's gives it two thumbs up and says the downhill pavement is in pretty good shape. Oren found a Youtube video of someone descending by bicycle. They appear to be going a pretty good clip, so it must be in good shape?

Notice Oren is willing to top off my tires, while Jacinto says I should be self sufficient and do it myself. Heck.
