Day 4 Yakima

On Day 4, the weather was warm before dawn. The sun broke through scattered clouds, waking bikers who suffered from fragmented sleep. During the early morning hours, thunder, lighting and very little rain woke everyone. However, the event which distrubed us the most, was the sprinkling system.

Tents positioned on top of sprinkler heads, woke everyone as the water pressure against the tent shells sounded like freight trains chugging through the camp ground. After everyone determined what the challenge was, everyone return to their sleep patterns holding their screened windows closed to prevent the tents from flooding.

Today's ride was extremely short...finally. The road way followed the river with fewer up and down challenges compared how we spent ourselves on the first three days with 30 to 40 mile climbs. (Imogene is playing in the school hall way as we enjoy the air conditioning inside tonights campground sponsored school. If you don't know who Imogene is, call Danae!)

It is so extremely hot today, we cooked ourselves setting up tents. Ice tea and orange slices were consumed in record time at the campsite. (Pictures will follow soon. This is a teaser technique used on news shows to keep you tuned in and come back for updates.)
