Once again we essentially have the roads to ourselves today. With so few cars, you wonder why they built the roads. For us? A nice thought but we know better.We retrace yesterday's route among the orchards out of Canada. Jim has told us of the beauty from miles 25 to 41; we pass Palmer Lake (photo on right), Spectacle La
ke and Whitestone Lake. Since it's Sunday there are a fair number of fishermen but it doesn't seem like many because the lakes run for miles and miles. We have lunch at Shannon's Restaurant in Tonasket, eating on the patio and chatting with the locals. For the entire weekend - the weather is perfect - we also share the roads and restaurants with hundreds of motorcyclists. But we see them mostly in the towns; they obviously don't know about our remote roads.

We leave the highway 15 miles out of Tonasket and have a difficult ride for 6 miles before you see a small sign for Hidden Hills. From here it's 1.5 miles up a dirt road with many switchbacks. It's truly hidden and of course we're the only guests. There is no cell service here but they do have wi-fi.
