The heat drained our energy but I was still able to drag the family onto the trail along the river. We had to stop frequently for dips in the river. When we crossed over the Columbia we noticed a nest with bald eagles on the bridge. We have been so lucky to see so many eagles on this trip. Mike was a good sport - riding with Rocky in the burley - as we were one bike short(pic). By the time we ended the ride the boys discovered the joy of riding their bikes into the river.(pic) While we were relaxing at the beach we were astounded to see how swift the river flowed. One would have to be really careful swimming out in the current.
By late afternoon we ventured out to Liberty Orchards. My mom has always treated us with a gift from the factory at Christmas time so I was curious to see the place. While waiting for the tour we over indulged on their free samples. What a treat! We tested an energy bar they are planning to market - I thought it was horrible. The tour was interesting and we completed it twice. Considering the volume this factory produces we were quite surprised that they have only 4 double boiler drums.
We returned to the campground and headed straight for the river. After a snooze Rich made a wonderful orange chicken meal on the BBQ. The wind picked up and cooled us down.
