Day #-23: Tacoma to Yelm (38 mi)

Our short rides the past two days were intentional to synchronize our schedule with our good friend Tom, who is moving from Tacoma to Colorado. While we were having breakfast, our other friend Jenny happened by!

Yay mathematicians!

After breakfast we embarked on our longest ride of the Northern Half ™ thus far. We rode right by Mount Rainer! 😉

“right by”

Seeing as how she can’t turn our home into Uncle Sam’s headquarters to celebrate Memorial Day as she usually does, Alissa appreciated the efforts by one farm we passed.

More impressive was their collection of rocking horses in the background

For much of the day we were surrounded by gorgeous yellow flowers and, like yesterday, the weather was perfect.

We finally arrived in Yelm (great name!) where we had a tasty cauliflower steak and salad at The Local, and met our very charming Airbnb hosts who are expecting their first child AT ANY MOMENT! (She’s a week past her due date!)
