Dnes opúšťame Wenatchee a pohodlie Joshovho domu. Za oknom máme dúhu, ale inak sa počasie mení každých 5 minút. Okolo desiatej sa však vyjasňuje, vonku je ale riadne chladno. Hore na horách vidíme sneh. Po menšom nákupe vo Wenatchee, opúšťame toto mesto, najprv po peknej, ale krátkej cyklotrase, potom po ceste #28, sledujúc Columbia River na juh. Nad nami sa vypínajú obrovské skalné steny z bazaltových stĺpov, rieka tu vytvára široký a hlboký kaňon. Všade naokolo je púšť, ale aj tak prechádzame cez množstvo sadov, takže máme zabezpečený prísun čerstvých jabĺk, na zemi ich vždy nechávajú kopec dobrých, nechápem prečo ich len tak nechávajú hniť, možno pre nás :-) Večer spíme pri Quincy Lakes. Je riadna kosa, obloha je plná hviezd a náladu dotvárajú zavýjajúce kojoty.
Woke up into sunny morning with rainbow behind window. But till 10 am the weather was changing mood every 5 minutes. Today we left Wenatchee and Josh with his amazing family. Thank you again for everything. Biked down from Pitcher canyon in sunny but cold day. Up in the mountains is already snow... After some grocery and gear shopping (Baška bought new zipper for her camera case), we left Wenatchee first on nice, but short bike trail, then on the Hwy #28, heading south following the Columbia river. Very soon behind Wenatchee, the Hwy #28 entered to the huge, wide canyon. Above us were high cliffs and rocks and because Columbia River cut through lava flows, everything here is from huge basalt columns. Strange thing, east side of canyon is dry and yellowish, but further down to the south the west side is bright green, like if it spring. Still passing through orchards with apples, which is good, they left so many apples on the ground that it isn't problem to find nice and good ones. Is nice to have fresh fruit... More we got south, more the Columbia river canyon is amazing and bigger. For night we camp at Quincy lakes. Night was pretty cold (not in our sleeping bags), full of stars and coyotes hauling.
