Mileage & Coulee Dam

This is the famous Coulee Dam on the Columbia River in Washington State. Local people told us we were very lucky to see water going over the spillway since it last happened 7 years ago! It has rained here so much that they had to allow water over the dam. We camped just 1/2 mile from the Dam at a school and we could hear the roar all night!
Mileage for this week has been very high: we started on Sunday with a 70 mileage ride over Stevens Pass then we did an 80 miler on Monday, then Tuesday it was 96, Wednesday 105, Thursday 94 and today, 69 but we had to climb over Thompson's Pass at 4,850 feet. Tomorrow we leave Thompson, Montana, go back to Idaho, and then drop into Montana once again for another 96 mile day.
We finished today in just about 5.5 hours (69 miles) but tomorrow's ride will take us from 7 a.m. until about 5 p.m.! Our legs are doing very well and except for our rear ends, our bodies are holding up well. We do sleep well night even though we are in tents.
