Mt Vernon, OR

60 miles today to Bike inn in Mt Vernon.  Hoping to reach OR ID border by Saturday night.  Stayed in a school yard in Mitchel last night. It doubles as a campground for bikers...how cool is that?  Met other bikers there from Kentucky doing the transAmerica, fully supported.  They were miles ahead of us by   breakfast!    Tino's knee is getting better, but was throbbing a bit as we came into town today.  Lots of passes on this route!  Up 2000 ft, down 1200 feet, up 1000, up another 800, etc. etc.!!  Getting us ready for the Rockies, I suppose.  More icing tonight.  My thighs still burn on the uphills!  Doing great, and having a blast... The last picture is of the Bike Inn in Mt Vernon....a Set-Up just for bikers riding through, all by donation.  It was cold and rainy today, so that hot shower sure felt good!  Might even watch a movie tonight, if we don't fall asleep first!
