Alaska Caper -- Day 2

June 5, 2007
Posted by: Dick Wilson

Start: Baker City, OR
Destination: West Richland, WA

We awoke today in the midst of a horrendous rain storm with gusty winds. I think the Gods were testing us for what we might be confronted with in Alaska. We donned our warmer clothes and rain gear and headed west on I-84. As we reached Pendleton, Oregon, the rain was replaced by gusty winds which challenged our riding skill. Our destination was West Richland, WA, to visit and spend the night with Byron, a long-time friend of Steve’s from Virginia. It was there that we discovered his radio headset was defective. All the tinkering in the world did not get it working. We turned in after a great home-cooked dinner, determined to solve our communication problem in the morning.
