Thanks, Dad, for posting for us!
We finally have a brief moment to blog from a library in Republic, Washington, but we don't want to linger for long because we still have to climb Sherman Pass this afternoon, about 3,000 feet over 18 miles, so not too bad except that we have to carry extra water because our campsite tonight will not have potable water.
Last night we camped in a high meadow in the "town" of Wauconda (one gas pump, a tiny store/cafe and a mailbox). It was stunning up there. Fortunately we go to bed with the sun at about 9:30 because last night it got very cold--- we woke up this morning with everything covered in frost!!! We warmed up quickly on our climb up to Wauconda pass and then the beautiful descent into Republic.
We have been working on naming our bikes. Liz's is called "Wayne." Sarah's is "Joaquim." Cate is undecided between "Willis," "Bartholomew," "Mercedes," and "Maria." Our team definitely has a name, "Baby Pandas," although none of us quite know how we started calling ourselves that. Weird.
Other than that we are just cycling, eating, and packing/repacking, dressing/undressing. It takes a lot of time.
We will try to get photos up tomorrow on our rest afternoon.
Miss you all!

Hi Baby Pandas (which is definitely not the way I think of you three!),
I'm glad you are having a great time and will follow your progress with interest.
Aunt Barbara
I vote for Willis. Your great great grandfather was Eben Willis Knight- but he was called Willis. He had Rockland Farm in Gardiner Massachusetts.
Stay warm!
love Mom
Bravo ladies. Life is always about the journey.
May the wind be at your backs, and the sunrise in your eyes.
