WOW, this is what we woke up to this morning. We had left the sliding door open last night. Had a really good night's sleep with the cool mountain air and sounds of rushing snow melt water of the Methow River right outside! Yesterday had been a really exciting day so it was nice to have a restful night.


 We walked back downtown for a hearty breakfast this morning. Here is Bill waiting for his breakfast to be served at Three Finged Jack's Saloon.


This was a picture in the saloon! At first, I thought someone had taken my and Bill's picture the night before and had it mounted on the wall already!! Hard to remember all the celebrating we did last night for finishing the USA4CT!! hehe!!


Nope, this was more of the way we looked the night before in the saloon!! hehe, again!!

Look at the size of this plate of sausage gravy and biscuits!!

Look at the size of that pancake and all that bacon, just for Bill!!!!We definitely had a hearty breakfast!!

We headed on east on US 2. Planned to take US 2 all the way to the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan. As you can see, it was another beautiful day on our tour! Very little traffic. One short stretch of US 2 was under construction and we had to ride on gravel for about a mile, but without any delay. We also had an elk run out in front of us nearing Idaho. The dang thing got in front of us and just ran down the road for about quarter of a mile. All we could do was slow down to a near stop and watch what it may do. It finally turned to the right and headed back into the woods.

Another beautiful SUNNY day of riding across Washington, Idaho and into Montana!!!
