I misread the time this morning and thought it was 7:15, but it was really only 6:15. It turned out good because Nancy was up early and we just talked. The skies were cloudy as we awoke and spitting rain and by the time we were leaving it was raining slightly. We had to take our tents down in the rain and dressed as though we would ride the day in the rain, but it didn't continue for long. We started the day with a 2,000 ft climb over 10 miles, which felt very similar to yesterday. The scenery was spectacular. It is just so green everywhere. I do like the feeling of the air after a rain.
We were supposed to be staying the night at the campground at Wallowa Lake, but it was supposed to start raining this evening and rain throughout the night and into tomorrow morning, so we opted for a hotel. We are all staying in the same room, so we are close and comfy tonight. It has started raining, so I am glad we made the decision.
We have actually eaten too well today. We came into Joseph and had lunch thinking that we would be in the campground tonight and cook ourselves. Our plans changed and we are in Joseph again. I am stuffed tonight and the way I have been eating, I don't expect to lose any pounds on this trip.
Look how green things are.
Willows Lake. In the back you can see a moraine. This was caused by a glacier being in this place 20,000 years ago and pushing dirt and rocks in a way that formed this lake. It is 253 feet deep and just as clear as clear.
Kind of cloudy and rainy today.
