Day 4 - Riverside to Republic WA


Last night in Riverside we were part of a area wide youth event complete with band. We got to tell what we are doing by riding across and America. People were really excited to hear that we are all working to bring the message of Jesus to the young people of Europe and the Middle East. In every town, people have been encouraged by our stories of what God is doing through YFC.

After a good night's sleep in was off again up yet another pass. This makes four passes in three days. Another 3500 ft climb to the top of Wauconda Pass. The scenery is still stunning. Ponderosa pine and sage brush with dry hills all around. Descending from the pass we saw a return to more forests filled with Douglas Fir.

Republic is a historic mining town with a typical western downtown mainstreet.
