More smiles Part 2 ...

Yep the mechanic he wantef$15 to fit a new set of bar ends to Michaells bike (the old ones broke during one of his falls which I am glad to say are all in the past).He also wanted $15 just to see if the bike stand Jim wanted would fit - what a wally. The older bloke in the shop was great and gave us the route etc.
Fter coffee we started dropping down to Elma where we dnded up in  very smart R/V part with millions of bucks parked all around us. Some folk (not me) went to the ice cream evening and sguffed themselves with ice crem and toppings!

Today flat all the way. We have been following a valldy. This is the poor part of Washingtom State- junk piled high in theChehalis  Indin Reservation and very poor farm We chatted to a family who were selling there possessions from their farm as thet were selling up to move east. There family dairy farm was no longer viable.
