Gorge2Mtns:Day12:Ellensburg to Cle Elum

We started the Palouse to Cascades Trail today that will take us up and over Snoqualmie summit back to Seattle. I kept the ride short today knowing it's all uphill (at RR grade so barely noticable) on gravel. The trail starts through farmland then follows the Yakima river into the hills. it's nice to start to see trees again. We stopped for second breakfast at Thorp fruit stand and a picnic lunch at a campground along the trail before heading into town to Dairy Queen.In general the gravel is fine, well groomed, although I always prefer pavement. The temps are back in the 90s, but at least the air quality has improved (AQI 150).
