DAY 5--Up & at 'em

Got up at 5:30 to get an early start. We drove back to where we left off the day before. Had a few big sweeping hills, nothing major. No towns along the way. Lots of dry, dusty scenery, a few orchards. We made it to Roosevelt Park campground by 11:00am. The campground is right next to the Columbia River, so we went wading a bit. Had a substantial lunch at the mini-mart. They have a guest book, which we signed, and noticed most other signers were also cyclists on their way through. Not too surprising as this is the only place to stop for water and other necessities for many miles. We had plenty of time to relax and read in the shade of a large plane tree at our campsite. There were a number of Hispanic families camped there also, so we went to sleep to the sound of Mariachi music.
