All set to ride in the morning
Day one will have me heading south along the east side of Mt. Rainier until I get to the White Pass Scenic Byway. I'll take the Scenic byway east until I get to Lewiston, ID. The object is to avoid freeways whenever possible.
Day 2 I'll leave Lewiston and ride up Lolo pass to Missoula, MT.
From there I'll head west to Wallace, ID on the freeway and will probably spend
the night in Wallace.

We'll See
Taoist Proverb:
An old farmer who had worked his crops for many years had his horse run away one day. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. "Such bad luck," they said.
"We'll see," the farmer replied.
The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. "How wonderful," the neighbors exclaimed.
"We'll see," replied the old man.
The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune.
"We'll see," answered the farmer.
The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son's leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out.
"We'll see" said the farmer.
Then the government passed healthcare. The Democrates rejoiced. The Republicans wept.
"We'll see" said the farmer who knew the theatrics of both sides were simply to distract the people away from the truth.
