June 27, 2008 Spokane, WA (28)
Rest day…slept in until 9:30! Did laundry, downloaded pictures and then took a ride on the Centennial Trail. This multi-use, paved, recreational path snakes its way through downtown Spokane following the river. Heading out of town the path enters Riverside State Park. The scenery was spectacular and there were very few people on the trail. I had it pretty much to myself.
There was a tragic event unfolding on the river while I was there. A young lady had fallen in the river and it was suspected that she had been swept downstream. Rescue squads were positioned along the river, boats were in the water, and a helicopter was searching overhead. At last report the girl had not yet been found.
