Picture: Lunch Break at Hat Rock State Park, L to R Justin, Tom, Tatia, Priscilla Walsh. Across the table: Paul and Peggy
Tom, Priscilla, Justin, Tatia and Peggy met us early at the Umatilla campground where Tom was repairing his first flat of the trip. Tom and Priscilla had Sun recumbent bikes, while Justin rode a dirt bike. Peggy and Priscilla followed while Tom Walsh, Tom Bohman, Paul B., Justin and Tatia biked through Umatlla to Hat Rock State park, about nine miles away, where we enjoyed a nice lunch together.
Justin now works for an Oil Exploration ship. He worries about reduced oil exploration due to falling oil prices.
After lunch at Hat Rock, the wind from the south east continued, only subsiding for a few miles at the Washington Walla Walla county line. We arrived at Walla Walla at about 6:15 p.m., where we found a room at a budget inn at about 7:15 p.m. We were lucky to get into the hotel because was watched a very strong thunderstorm as we ate dinner in a local Mexican Restaurant. The winds have subsided, but more thunderstorms are predicted for tomorrow.
Miles today 59.58, overall 319.4
