Sunday, May 24: Dreary in McCleary

Sunday was cold and wet.  Big surprise, right?  After all I'm riding the largest temperate rain forest in the world.  Finally, I decided I needed a break in McCleary, WA, home of the Bear Festival.
Stopped at the Rain Country Restaurant for pie and coffee.  The name says so much.
I asked my waitress about the Bear Festival, the community's annual mid-summer gathering.  "Well," she said, "it's not as big as it used to be.  There's a competition for the best Bear stew and a nice community gathering. (I'm sure local bears are grateful that it's diminished in size).
