We finished our ride on the Olympic peninsula today. We had scheduled the ferry passage for Brandon and the RV at 8:00 this morning as that was the only time that was available. We all got up early and got things ready and sent Brandon off at 7:00 to make his time. We rode the 16 miles to get there and had to take the 9:30 ferry. Bikes don’t have to reserve the time as they just load all bikers in the front. It cost $70 to take the RV and $4.50 to take the bike.
We are now on Widbey Island, WA. Actually we are on the northern tip of the island and will be riding first thing in the morning to the mainland Washington and close to Anacortes, WA. This is the place I was going to originally start before Tim suggested riding across the Olympic Peninsula, which I am glad we did, however it has added some days to my plan which I hope I will be able to do.
Today’s riding was nice, but we did have to ride some busy roads. This mornings ride wasn’t on that great of road in that the shoulder wasn’t very wide and it was busy. The rest of the busy roads today had good shoulders and we did have a few trails. The weather was again very cool. It pretty much remained in the 50’s. However, the sun did shine, so we enjoyed that.
Tonight we are in Deception Pass State Park. We are again staying close to the shores of the Puget Sound. We took a nice walk tonight and watched the sun go down. Didn’t have the camera so missed a great picture.
