I awoke after a great night's sleep inside, especially after the previous night's. At about 7am I awoke and had breakfast with my hosts, Genie and Fred. Johannes woken up next and joined us, with Rebecca still asleep.
I thanked my hosts for all the wonderful food and headed out right about 8am. Two days ago I had talked to Ari, the wife of my good friend Chase, on facebook and found out that where they lived in Washington wasn't that far of the Lewis & Clark route. I decided to detour off route at Waitsburg onto Route 124 to Richland to see them.
I've been a little leery of venturing off route, but 124 wasn't that bad at all. It took me up into wheat field hills which was very cool, and I probably climbed 800 - 1,000ft. I think the cooler morning temperatures had energized me because by noon I had gone 55 miles and was on the outskirts of Kennewick. It took me another an hour and a half to make my way around the city, it always seems like urban areas slow me way down because I keep looking at my phone to make sure I'm going the right way or didn't pass a turn.
I arrived at Chase and Ari's house and had a great time hanging out with them and their kids. We had some beers, watched a movie, caught up on who was where and doing what, and before I knew it, it was getting late and I got a bed to sleep in!
