Day 9

 The ride started out chilly (55-65F) and pretty much stayed that way until we got about 50 miles from Yakima, WA, where we are spending the night, then it got up to 90F

Shortly after leaving the motel this morning I split off to visit my granddaughter Alyssa who recently moved to the Seattle area. The other guys did a loop ride on the islands in Puget Sound that had them ride a ferry back to the mainland. I met them at the dock as they disembarked the ferry.

We caught highway 2 East and rode it, and others, to Yakima. Lots of traffic for a Tuesday but otherwise a pleasant ride. On the way we passed through Leavenworth, WA which is a tourist town made up to look like a Bavarian town, interesting.

During this trip we passed up several Dairy Queens so we vowed to not do that today and low and behold we found one.
