Day 5 - June 23 2011

Woke to a light rain once agian. Hit the rode pretty early. Today had us riding through Rockpoint, Marble Point, Newhalem and ending at Dialbo for the night. 5 miles intill the ride we found a farm that had a small shop advertising expresso and ice cream. Stopping for our second breakfest, two girls rode into the shop from the east. They had just climbed washington pass from the oppisite side and were heading to Alaska. giving us forwarnings of the lack of stores before the pass we loaded on food for the 33 mile climb tomorrow at marble point. With panniers full of clif bars and top ramen. A nice climb and decent brought us to Diablo, resting on the foothill of Washington pass. Strolling into town, the place looked like a ghost town. A housing community for the employes who worked at the hydroelectric plant on Diablo Lake is what made the town. Riding through the whole town we found no one out side. Quickly leaving we fouind a free campsite outside of Diablo for free. A small, but nice campsite on the river. No water but we manged by boiling the river water for cooking our top ramen as we made a gigantic bonfire before we hit the tents.
