I would like to know exactly where the "Cherry Farm" incident occurred. Just to make sure I stay way clear of it when and if I ride out that way.

Shotgun lady is definitely the scariest thing on this journey. Glad you made it through. And the dog! Lordy Lordy.

O. M. G.!!!! That shotgun lady is out of control! And your bruises and bites are so nasty. So glad all worked in the end but maaaaan!

I have noticed that is a tough section. Great job.

Beautiful and fun to ride along (without lifting a finger!) But those tunnels! No ‘mam! I’d do with a buddy but not solo! I’m too chicken!

Ok, grit in this sense is a noun, not a verb, and it still describes you!

Grit is a verb I would definitely use to describe you! Only way to get experience is to get out there and do it! Way to go!

Great video of your adventure! You are far braver than me!

Lots of hills out there, no shade, carry lots of water and/or a filter. It can easily reach 100f out there. I hope you did Crab Creek.

this subject would make a classic $1. law suit to force state prarks to reduce risks and injury and deaths in above average challenged environments. Where are the law students.

And that's why they call it "adventure". I am soooo happy you found a way out safely, well, kinds safely. But you are still with us, Good job!

The Yakima Training Center is great in the Spring. Wildflowers abound at that time of year. And its wonderfully isolated too.

The section along the Yakima River is so beautiful.

Thanks for sharing, I highly reccomend American Cycling Association maps for planning and Komoot App for travel. Did Florida to San Diego with them and only had 1 locked gate in over 4800 miles! Stay safe. Your video has me Jones-ing for the open road!

Oh my goodness, that is quite a crazy end of your day! I biked the trail, Rattlesnake Lake to Vantage, (John Wayne Trail at the time) many years ago. It was soooooo hot and the loose rock was so tough, going 5mph! I knew the trail was sand after Ellensburg, so I chose to bike the Old Hwy into Vantage. It was a tough trail at times, but really great memories as well! It seems like the harder things are, it makes for the best memories!

Awesome I was there a few years ago can't wait to see it again Thanks

I really liked your video! I retired this year and have been accumulating a list of bike-packing, rails-to-trails routes. I have been riding for a looong time, but I have to admit I am a bit nervous to get out there and try my first trip. I just heard about the Palouse trail a few weeks ago. I am very much looking forward to the rest of this series! Thank you!

wholly smokes BEAR!!!

Been there .Never again 😅. Look up GHOST OF WELLINGTON THE IRON GOAT TRAIL. That is me talking to NWPIA that are now my friends. I have never been afraid of the spirit world. I am now.But that little girl that has been looking for her mom for over a hundred years breaks my heart.

Love it, Jill! Keep it coming as much as you can. Following you vicariously and always reassured to get your InReach update. Love you little sister!

How exciting. My nephew started and broke his ankle 100 miles in. My Mom has read so many books on the trails in the USA and was so excited when my nephew started out. Happy hiking.

This is amazing!!!! Thank you so much for recording and posting this!!!!

Jill, how neat to see all of these gorgeous nature snaps, your experience, and your smile !! You're inspiring and I'm wishing you the best on the remaining adventure!!!

Amazing!

Thanks for speaking with our group tonight! I look forward to following along on your adventure! Only the best!

I'm starting in a month. I'm in a similar spot as I have Celiac (no gluten) and am allergic to dairy. A few towns with major grocery stores will work, but I'm mostly sending resupply boxes. I didn't totally realize how much work it would be until i got into it. The difficulty of figuring it out is compounded by not knowing how fast I'll be hiking. Fortunately I've got someone to mail my premade boxes where/when I need. Good luck on your trip, I'm looking forward to seeing some updates.

I’m going to follow along too! This will be fun😎 You’ll do great!

You've got this! So exciting! Can't wait to see what you share along the way!

So excited to follow along!!

Thanks for this! I just got a lot out in Silverton WA and I have been looking for a back story to this area! well done! love the spirit convo too!

Hi I would love to chat about your work at Monte Cristo my oldest has his ashes buried there.

thanks for the vid - that tunnel is really cool. A buddy and me weaseled our way through years ago before it officially opened and have since been through "legally" a number of times. An amazing place. Bring a jacket and a backup light.

Whoa! Crazy.

I can tell just how much research you put into these videos!!

Wow the noises were so loud! Great storytelling, Jill!

Such sad and interesting history. That banging was crazy!

So Cool! They were having quite the party. haha.

This is a phenomenal video. I've hiked here before & found it to be fascinating. I didn't think about it being haunted at the time, but it makes total sense it would be. Man those EVP's you captured are incredible btw.

This is one of my favorite hikes. This and Lake 22 and Lime Kiln. I did catch a random voice on Lime Kiln that I didn't hear while there but heard while trimming clips. And I was the only one on the trail.

We were up there on Monday working at the town site - did you enjoy my signs?

Fascinating history. Crazy EVPs! ...and Happy Anniversary!

What a cool story and video!

Very Cool trip and info. Ninth anniversary hike... Nice.

Wow! This was very interesting!😮

What a tragic, interesting story.

I love riding on a train
