I wake up dizzy today. A little food and a full shower seem to help.
Left Pendelton in denim shirts. The ride was cool but very nice. Into Washington and grain fields and many little towns.
Architecture on main streets is very lovely with many homes restored to period style.
We are traveling the Lewis and Clark Trail (go figure) and stop at little park to stretch and read the information kiosk. There is the coolest bathroom built long ago from river rock (see photo).
I am not feeling real well by this point. We stop in Dayton to sight-see. Gary goes in to the offices of the Blue Mountain Ski Area to bend an ear. He also gets his ear bent.
We drop in to the news paper office. The lady there is elderly, but hale, and chatty and tells us of her experiences skiing at Blue Mountain. She still skis. She wishes she could ride a motorbike. There is some really neat old printing equipment in the shop. That is why I went in. She recommends the Moose Bakery for lunch
We go to the beautiful old Dayton Depot and I view the quilt show while Gary and the docent bend each others ears about railroads and look at the map she has laid out on the table.
I don't want lunch but we split sandwich at the Moose Creak Cafe and Bakery before heading out again for Orofino. The sandwich and tea are delicious. I feel a little better after lunch.
The ride was always comfortable and I handle the rocky road in to Day's in good shape.
We visit and I am feeling worse and worse as we eat diner.
I remember previous bouts of stale water illness (cleaning my hot tub after long periods of it sitting) and realize I have felt crappy like this before. Then I understand that I will have a fever tonight. I hope it burns itself out.
Again, I am in a safe place at Day's. Grateful. Thankful.
