Camping in Concrete. Thank goodness for Gazebos. We were spared from the wetcoast down pour.

Watching the train tracks on the beach in Fairhaven Bellingham. Our friend/fellow cycletourist Brady invited us to his mom's home to clean our selves up before the home stretch
Thank-you Sherry and Brady!

Armel and Gwendal dip into the Pacific Ocean for the first time since El Salvador.

First glaciated formerly Valley in a very long time... since Patagonia actually. It was a welcome familiar sight.

All the powerlines leaving the Grand Coulee dam give you goosebumps.

Every canadian should know how to handle these giant birds

One for me, one for the bowl, one for me... :)

Armel being coached by Bob Rhode in Wilbur, WA on his funny pivoting recumbant. It was like learing to ride all over again.

Tough but beautiful climb out of Lewiston, Idaho on the "spiral highway".

scary!

A butterfly getting some much needed salt off a dirty pair of cycling shorts.

Idaho...

Awesome descent down the Salmon River in Idaho. The largest free flowing river in the lower 48 states.

In Boise, Idaho the painted cyclists have little helmets.
We found it to be the most cyclist friendly city in the US. We were able to take a bike route from one end of the city to the other.
