We're making good time

We're making good time. No, no, I mean we're having a good time. At the end of Day #4, we had traveled 533 miles, which would be considered making good time only if we were riding bicycles. Clearly, we're not going to have much trouble with Rule #1 (No More Than 300 Miles Per Day).

Friday, we went to a goat farm/fromagerie near Dayton, WA. Check it out: monteilletcheese.com. Amazing cheeses. We're going to apply to be interns there next summer, seriously. After a wine and cheese-tasting, we decided to skip the Johnny Cash sound-a-like contest at the Dayton County Fair, but we stuck around and spent the night at a nearby state park.

Yesterday, we actually made it out of Washington, through the lovely Blue Mountains, into the Wallowa, OR area. We found a no-fee, 8-site campground on a creek and settled in for a game of Scrabble (more on that later) before dinner. We were the only people there. Ruby was beside herself - no leash, no one shushing her (she doesn't bark but she bays, howls, and carries on like the hound she is when she's tracking critters). Perfect.
