HAPPY FATHERS DAY
Ford and I had a good 50 mile ride yesterday. We saw a black tailed deer in the morning and then got to see the beautiful countryside riding along the Columbia river. The girls brought us some sandwiches for lunch so we didn't have to eat cliff bars. The campground at Home valley was pretty with a view of the Columbia river. Last nights sunset was spectacular!! - of course with all the clouds it rained most of the night. We also had rain most of the day.   Today is supposed to be great weather with a high about 80. Yesterday it got up to about 60. I forgot to mention that we saw an eagle the day before.
