Many Lakes... and my brakes work!

30+ miles.

Went to town today to specifically ride out along the road to Loomis.

And that I did.

It was a truly scenic ride.

Went by Many Lakes Recreation area. Lots of fishermen as it was the opening weekend.

I really need to remember to take pictures as I am on these rides.

Telling about the scenery...

the lakes...

the people...

the orchards...

the smells...

Well, it is just plain hard to do so in words.

It was a beautiful road to ride on and all of the petrol/desiel powered vehicles which passed gave me a nice wide way.

One part of the ride, where I got to make sure my brakes worked well was....

when I was coming down the long hill back towards Tonasket.

I was going along a pretty good speed, as no one was behind me, so I was taking full advantage of the lane...

When what to my wondering eyes should appear...

but a deer standing right in the middle of the road. And one in the pasture looking out over the scene without a care.

I quickly slowed down, while the deer looked with astonishment at something coming toward it, which was not a vehicle!

It ran from the middle of the road off into the pasture on the far side.

I have no idea what the other deer did!

But I do know my brakes work well :)

Continuing to joy in the journey,
