Northern Tier Progress - June 4, 2026



Day 4


Start End Miles
Omak Republic 66

A Tisket a Tasket I’m going to Tonasket… then on to Republic…

Today was tough. Perfect example of biting-off more than you should attempt to chew.

Tomorrow will be a tough day as well but with slightly less climbing. 4,100 ft. today, 3,800 ft. tomorrow. Fortunately tomorrow is fewer miles by about 20.


My buddy Mike with the KLR 650, back at the Omak campground, gave this to me to protect me on my ride. I plan to carry it in my pannier.
