Today we had an early wake up at 4:30 to get on the road for our last big climb. We packed up, and had some breakfast because there was no food on the road for 70 miles. We started riding around 5:30 and biked 6 miles to the beginning of Washington Pass. The pass was 20 miles long and contained something of the best scenery that we have had on the trip. We had been dreading the climb from the start of the trip, but found that we had improved so much from the beginning that the pass really wasn’t much to worry about. We reached the top which was 5500 feet up and were filled with joy that the passes were finally complete. The rest of our day consisted of some really steep downhills, and a few other tough uphills. We stopped at Diablo Lake, which had a very unique color. After stopping at the lake, it was about 25 miles into town which I found to be very tiring. We arrived in Marblemount around 2 and got some snacks from a gas station. We then went to an RV park for the evening for dinner and camping. One of Mr. Murphy’s friends brought us chicken, watermelon, and corn which was awesome! We all then went to bed ready to knock out the few remaining days! Until Tomorrow...
