Day 3: Wanatchee to Coulee City

Wheat fields and canyons: God’s country

This morning we woke up to music like we’re supposed to. I was happy that Jay got a working stereo. After filling up on a great sponsored breakfast we were off. At the start of the day we had another large climb. It was about 10 miles, but at least it was not cold. I can definitely say that I prepared enough for this trip after today.

When we got the top, there wasn’t much of downhill. I guess we’ve reached a plateau of sorts. Growing wheat could be seen everywhere, and it was swaying in the wind. It was quite beautiful, and I should be posting some pictures soon.
Today was rather uneventful. Coulee city is a small place, and we’re staying at the middle school gym. Dinner tonight was sponsored by the Cattlewomen. They brought us some BBQ beef sandwiches, and seemed thrilled to feed us. As always, after dinner we took a picture and made the two ladies who helped cook our dinner honorary team members of the Trans America route of Journey of Hope.

Tomorrow is our first 100 mile day to Spokane. I can’t wait until getting there. We have a day off Sunday, and we should have some great friendship visits lined up!
