Day of Animals

A report from Lowell:  We stopped for quick change into rain gear along a country stretch of the highway, yes it rained all day again. A local house's dog came over to check us out, ran across the highway and decided to try Mike's calf out for a snack. Nice 3" slash, lucky Mike wasn't his type or the damage could easily have been worse. Further along the route we saw a huge bull elk with his harem, lucky dude. Then we saw a huge Osprey along a lake that took off right by us, looked larger than an eagle and very impressive. First day out of the Cascades and although still constant rain it was fun to have some rolling hills and flat so the 96mi's today was enjoyable.

Encounters with the animals and the rain were not the only factors that kept the bikers attention.  The scenery was beautiful along the banks of the Pend Oreille River.
