JWPT Take 2! - Day 4

We were determined to make it home as once you leave Lake Easton there are few campsites between Lake Easton, Rattlesnake Lake and Duvall. The Snoqualmie Valley Trail does not allow camping off the trail, so we needed to push for home.  This was made much easier by the fact that what we had ridden up just a few short days prior we now got to ride down.

Memorable moments: Head wind. EPIC LONGEST DOWNHILL EVER!!! F16 flew over screaming up the I-90 canyon. Tons of people on the trail. We essentially rode around Lake Easton (we discovered this later on when we looked at our maps). Fabulous "you should" list compiled on the way down Snoqualmie Valley trail. Celebrated with dinner at the Duvall Grill.

Wildlife sightings: Douglas squirrels, 4 Townsend chipmunks, 4 soaring turkey vultures, 1 sage grouse, 1 bunny
