Twisp, fried to a crisp

90 miles today, warm sun and headwind for much of it. Early start, with 40 miles of prairie and canyons until first town and chance for food, at bridge crossing the Columbia.

Bridgeport featured an avenue of dead trees carved in amazing ways.

Lots of orchards on hillsides above river taking advantage of cheap hydro, cherries already ripe and being harvested.  After late lunch and siesta I turned north to follow the Metheow river for final 34 uphill miles to Twisp, with Cascades and clouds looming.
