Day 2
I woke up to the sound of rain on the tent. I ate breakfast nice and dry seated in the tent (Grape Nuts with milk and raisins), but packed up a wet tent in the light rain and started off around 7 am. I rode the same unpaved trail all the way over the pass (through a famous >1mile long tunnel) to Cle Elem, where I stopped for lunch. I continued to Ellensberg along old highway 10, being heartily sick of gravel. It was a good choice. Staying in a Motel 6 (nothing but the best) to shower, dry out the tent, and wash some clothes. 71 miles today.
