Day 116 - 26th September, Malott - Brewster - Beebe Bridge State Park (near Chelan), 49.41 miles

In the morning I changed that curved handlebar to my old one. I don't understand what advantage of these curved one, it was very uncomfortable, maybe my bike frame is too small for handlebars like this.
From Malott we followed the Old Hwy #97, it was with beautiful views on whole valley with all these industrial orchards. There were parts when it looks like on the old western - yellow desert, hills, rocks, pastures with cows or horses, barb wires, Mexican shops... We took a look into one, it was full of unknown stuff (for us). 
After Brewster the Okanogan River joined the Columbia River and all disappeared in huge dam. Also the Old Hwy #97 joined with the New Hwy. In the evening we left it and biked a little uphill on Apple Acres Rd to Ice Caves State Park. We thought that there will be some place to tent, maybe we will be able to explore some caves. But except of nice huge cliffs and rocks, there was nothing, and as we heard day before, people destroyed these caves by dynamite because they became unstable, so probably nothing left. But it was very beautiful place with really strong atmosphere, spirit...  Suitable place for camp we found in Beebe Bridge Park, near Chelan. There was a campground.
