It stuck to our bikes to the point that both my wheels stopped turning, and I had to drag my bike into the campground. Luckily, there was a lake there, so we gave our bikes a good long bath. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We found some friendly camp neighbors &#8211; Greg and Rachel from Mount Vernon, WA &#8211; who agreed to give us and our bikes a lift back to the pavement the next morning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It got cold! My tent door was frozen when I woke up in the middle of the night<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"2641\" src=\"https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_20230614_091413-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_20230614_091413-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_20230614_091413-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_20230614_091413-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_20230614_091413-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_20230614_091413-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_20230614_091413-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"2650\" src=\"https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_20230614_091822-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_20230614_091822-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_20230614_091822-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_20230614_091822-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_20230614_091822-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_20230614_091822-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/bikebums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_20230614_091822-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Monday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The ride to the road went off without a hitch.
