Alturas, Ca. to Moses Lake, Wa. 548 miles
Home at last, but tomorrow we need to go up to Blaine, another 270 miles and back home to complete the final checkpoint. A very cool morning as the temperature was 34 when we first got up. But as the sun came up, it rapidly warmed up, but we did wear our jackets all day, the first time that was done since the first part of the ride. We saw more animals today than any other day, 10 deer on and on both sides of the road when we went to breakfast. Two more deer along the roadside, a field of about 25 sandhill cranes, a number of hawke, and a small herd of antelope. 395 through Oregon has a lot of contrasts, from desert to mountain to pasture and wheat country. We enjoyed the scenery very much. No metropolitan areas to slow us down, but the speed limits in Oregon must be the lowest in the west. We still made good time, getting home about 6:30. It was great to see our wives for the first time in 3 weeks, Francie and Kris had prepared a nice dinner for us and then a shower and off to bed to get ready for tomorrows ride.
