Earthwalk Day 895 (5 July 2024), 8916 km

I’m heading mostly west, a little north, across Washington. This week I passed right through downtown Yakima. That glimpse of urban landscape was short lived. Not far beyond, I’m back in rural areas, heading into the Cascade Range. Tonight I’m near the very small city of Tieton.

June was a pretty good month. Average steps per day slightly up from May and slightly higher than June 2022, much higher than 2023. Average distance per day also up from May and midway between the previous two Junes. Only four bike rides versus the five in Junes 2022 and 2023, due mainly to a lot of hot weather. It’s also been fairly hot these first few days of July, but I got a ride in yesterday.

A map showing my progress is here, a spreadsheet with progress detail is here, and a Google Earth KMZ file is in this Google Drive folder. Present coordinates: 46.722°N, 120.845°W.
