[bike] umatilla

we're in umatilla, oregon! we went up to washington and then came back down to oregon just now. i can't tell you much about our trip because i have limited time on the internet, but i thought i'd update since i won't have internet again for awhile. Ariel, though, is splitting from us for a few days  (at her aunts place) and she'll have an update on teamroadshow.com soon. so check out the site! we've been averaging about 50 miles each day. yesterday we did 74 miles! but today is going to be a short day to recover. the landscape changed drastically from the waterfalls and lush green out of Portland and along the Columbia River Gorge. But now, it's mostly desert, with some fake grass fields for agriculture. and apparently, honking is the way to say 'hi' here...cars would honk and we'd all wave. there have been a lot of honks, people are super friendly here. we're going to leave the visitor center here at umatilla soon and head to McNary campground about 16 miles away.
 
honk honk!
