| Day 6 |
Today was a long but relatively easy riding day on flat roads. For much of the day they were on Hwy 12 riding parallel to the railway (Gary's dream, not so sure about Tug's and Kevin's) but it did mean that it was flat and straight). The temperature was more conducive to riding with overcast skies instead of the scorching sun of the previous day. They started the day early with a 6am breakfast (I think they learned their lesson and sussed out breakfast places the night before this time!) at the Rusty Tractor in Elma and put in 85km before stopping for lunch. They experienced a mixture of scenery along their way today; scrubland, old growth forest and farmland along a river. They continue to meet and chat with lots of people at every stop, all interested in where these 3 amigos are headed. A laden bike would seem to be a great conversation starter.

On their route today they passed by or through Oakville, Rochester, Centralia, and Toledo before arriving at Castle Rock where they found the
Toutle River RV Resort to set up their tents for the night and discovered to their delight that they could buy cold beer in the office and get pizza delivered for their supper. (Do we see a food theme emerging in this blog?) Tomorrow's reports may include an update on this RV Park though, apparently the Union Pacific railway runs right behind the park and that means trains blow their whistles at level crossings and the trains go by every hour or so!
