Sean and I left after eating breakfast in our room. It was about 5:30 pm and it seemed like it was 65 degrees already. There was little traffic and we could here birds and small animals in the woods.
It took awhile to get to "The Loop" were we started a very long 6% climb. The views were good but I could see it getting clouding over the pass.
There was a 3 mile construction zone that helped slow traffic. Once we got through it we were almost at the tip. Fog still hovered around the top when we got to the "Logan Pass" signed. Ken was the only other rider from our group there.
As we headed down the other side the temps rose. Traffic was also very light.
At around 11:00 am we got to Rising Sun and went to the cafe to have lunch. Others started coming in and after lunch we all sat out in the hotel porch chairs and talked.
We went back to the cafe for dinner as it was the only place around for miles.
At our nightly meeting Ken said that tomorrow's weather looks wet.
