After another great breakfast at the Country Coffee Cabin we
returned to the Trailhead Hostel and finished packing for transport to Weiser. Elsa (Innkeeper) and her husband soon arrived
in their 4-door Tundra and the guys loaded up the bikes (much lighter since our
panniers had been removed) while I settled up with Elsa for the night’s lodging.
They are active with the association
that manages the trail and so were interested to learn about our experience.
In no time at all we were back in Weiser and
our cute little Transit, and headed west northwest to The Dalles, Oregon. Once more, we had a not-too-unhealthy lunch
in the Transit, and arrived at our destination in good time.
After updating our blog, we had another delicious dinner,
this time at Montira’s Thai Cuisine. Not
only that –we learned about the Blue
Zones Project, because the State of Oregon and Montira’s are participants. The goal of the project is to help transform
communities across the U.S. into areas where making healthy choices is easy, so
tha people can live longer with a higher quality of life. Eating wisely is just one of the areas
addressed by the project. (Iowa has 15
Blue Zone Communities, but alas, Washington has none.)
Tomorrow we’ll spend another day in The Dalles – we plan to
ride the Riverfront Trail and visit the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center and
Museum.
