Day Thirteen - Kettle Falls to Colville, Washington

Day 13
May 29th
Friday
15 Miles
From Kettle Falls to Colville

Clouds were hanging low in the mountains that framed Lake Roosevelt. We packed up our camping gear in a light rain shower for an easy ride through a beautiful valley leading to Colville, Washington.  We saw white tailed deer, wild turkey, and quail, among the horses and cows grazing in tall green grass.  


As we neared Colville we saw an additional saw mill producing board lumber.  This is an amazing process with massive equipment.


Our first stop in Colville was Clarks All Sports.  Wes helped Ronnie with a spare shifter cable and chain oil.  The moisture in Washington has bike parts trying to get a little rusty.


We stayed at the Colville Inn since the forecast that evening and night called for rain.  We stocked up on a few groceries and washed clothes preparing for the next few days when we will be leaving Washington and going into Northern Idaho.
