DAY 6 - COLUMBIA RIVER TRIP - GRAND COULEE TO HOME (AKA MISSION ABORT!)

As happens occasionally you do a stupid thing and you pay the price.  We rode down to the Grand Coullee dam this morning to take one last look before we took off to the Tri Cities.  Good thing I happened to look at my rear tire .  What I saw was not fun, it was so worn down the plys were showing.  No way was this tire taking us any further than we absolutely had to go and that was, regrettably, home.  My mistake was to squezze one last trip out of the thing before getting a new one.

Oh well made it home with no mishaps, I'll be off to the shop on Tuesday for some new rubber.  We'll hit it again next time to finish up the trip, I don't think the River is going anywhere but downstream.

write-up very pressured me to check out and
do so! Your writing taste has been surprised me.

Thank you, very nice article.
