Day 115 - 25th September, Tonasket - Omak - Okanogan - Malott, 39.76 miles

Today we had another rest morning, then biking in the Okanogan River Valley, through the orchards, on the Hwy #97. Because now is time to harvest all that apples and pears, all orchards are buzzing with work, everybody is picking an apples. All Trucks on the Hwy are full of apples. In Omak we visited another DQ, (they had excellent deal, two Blizzards of Month for price of one), have a funny conversation with local grandfather. From Omak we got to Okanogan, leaving the Hwy #97 and biking on the Old Hwy #97, it was better, less trucks. Our final destination for today was Malott, met there old woman, trying to get rid of "goat head" weed, invasive plant with very sharp thorny seeds which can pop your bike tires. Our camp was in city park, again, hiding in pavilion, again were flooded in the night with sprinklers, even in pavilion... We called SJ and spoke with her for the rest of evening.
