Day 12 - by Rita, 64 miles (July 9)

We started our day at mile post “0” RV park, we were all well-rested after our day off. The bikes were all serviced and we headed out. The terrain has changed a bit. There are no longer the big majestic Mountains although there are lots of trees and a couple rolling hills. This area has crop land where ever the trees have been cleared. We were fortunate to see a rather large Elk ranch where they had the Elk penned near the highway. The antlers on the Bull Elks were amazing (we took several pics). There was quite a head wind and so we had quite a little work for the rather short distance we covered. We also had to go through about 10 miles of road work where they made us ride through it on a pilot truck. Brett was not overly excited about that but Rules are Rules. We did make a fun stop at a Bee store (The Honey Place) ; it was fun to see the bees working in the hive they had set up for viewing. We bought some blueberry honey there and it was amazing! We arrived to our camp site early and set up camp. This place was kind of like a little German Community in the middle of the woods. Every thing was clean and orderly and the restaurant had every thing homemade right down to the toast that they served
