Cassandra: (Tues June 26) The weather today is horrendous, windy and very, very wet. When we went to bed last night, around 1 am, it was totally clear out, so we didn't think to cover our bikes. They are now drowning in water. Rain is one thing that can totally stop a bike road trip in its tracks. I called mom for the forecast in Walla Walla, because we were supposed to head that way this morning, but the forecast there is the same that it is here: thunderstorms, rain, and wind. After I got off the phone, Lisa decided she wanted to go back to sleep and I headed to a coffee shop to work on my chemistry homework. By tonight it is supposed to be clear ... hopefully we can get back on track and back on our bikes then!!
