Wednesday

Wow - how fast a week can go!!

When we headed out for the border, we sailed through into the US with no problems. (Unlike getting into Canada) then we rode into Bellingham and found the Harley Dealer and got shirts and a pin. Cool space they have. Also got some good advice on how to ride out of town and had a nice ride along a lake and up into the foothills.

Along the way, we stopped to lose some gear as it was getting warmer and luckily stopped at a corner that was also the place for a nice bike shop called Scooter Stuff. This shop is owned by a nice lady named Shell who is really sweet. Convinced us to hang around a while and have a cup of coffee; showed us her shop and made us feel at home. If you are ever out there, find her shop you can't go wrong.

Then we headed along the road that winds up and through the Cascade Mountains. As always another nice ride. We get the best advice about what to ride from the people who know best - those who live where the rides are!!

We stayed on the east side of the park that night. Lots of miles, long day.
