Yak-yak-yak

  • Awoke to rv overnighter being evicted by BLM agent
  • Flipped coin outside of twee fly shop/cafe to decide second breakfast. Breakfast won. Sandwiches were great, but muzak channel was depressing
  • Smooth ride up Yakima canyon, now with normal traffic volume (aka not much)
  • Ellensburg!
    • Met overzealous artist/man-about-town/street king of E’s-burg. Got boba tip
    • Spent hours in great boba cafe whilst Alice rerouted her plans due to cancelled Amtrak (tracks burnt in Cali wildfire)
    • Next stop: brewery! Saw-themed in honor of our serrated serenader. Great brews, good food, great way to avoid the heat
    • Quick stop at Safeway for food + trail beers
  • Palouse-to-Cascade rail trail!
    • 80 miles of car-free bliss
    • Camped at nice campground along trail – skinny dipping in Yakima river
