93 miles
My notes said it was 60 miles to Walla Walla but I realized my error. And I was going to split it up into two days but that seemed like that would make two short days in a row so instead I decided I would try to get there in one day. The only problem was, I had lined up a Warmshowers host in Walla Walla back when I thought I was going to take two days to get to there. I wasn’t sure I was going to make it all the way there so I didn’t try to contact her and ask if she could have me stay a day early until late in the day. But I got to Walla Walla before she saw the message. So I ate a couple slices of pizza and had a beer. At least that was getting dinner out of the way. Then I needed to get real about finding a place to camp. I decided I didn’t want to camp in town so I rode out aid town a way and found a park where I stealth camped. This was the first time I have stealth camped and I was successful. But I would have much preferred having permission to camp.
Umatilla also had a nice coffee shop that made sandwiches. I got one to go and thought I would look for a good place to eat it down the road.
There were spots with great views, but they were right next to the road.
I was really close to just eating the sandwich on the side of the road when I saw this view.
But I am glad I waited because I went around a bend and found twin sisters rock. It was a five minute hike up to the top with stellar views, shade and a breeze it was magical.
Sorry for the photo dump of the Twin Sisters but it was spectacular.
Slow and Steady
