Chewelah Or Bust

Yesterday's "project" was to ride from Loon Lake to Chewelah via back roads, have lunch, and then ride back. John shared this route in a post last spring, but Patty is on a heavy, upright bike and we were looking for something a little more direct, so I mapped this route.



We made it about halfway, and then ran into our first sign of trouble . . .



Then another . . .



And then, the end of the line . . .



So it was a bust, but not really. I mean, when you're riding on roads like these, who really cares if you actually ever get where you're going.



Here's a tiny little lake called Beity Lake. I'm taking this picture from atop a dam on the lake.



Here's the shot from other side. Cool.



Last night the water heater died. So that's today's project. I liked yesterday's a lot better.

Beitey Lake looks neat. That's a great area up there. I'd like to find some time next summer to explore more of the area between 395 and Priest River.
