Day 5 Deception Pass Campground to Rockport, WA

 Miles 64

Total Miles 233.3

I had a hard time sleeping last night. I was up at 5 and read for a bit in bed before falling back to sleep until 6:30. We were having some issues with the water in the RV and I think I was worried about that.

There was a bridge to cross right as we left this morning and the bridge was under repair.  We walked the bikes across on the sidewalk, but because of the construction, there was just room to walk beside the bike. It was kind of a pain. Literally. You just kept hitting the pedals with your leg.  I am sure there are going to be some bruises.

It was pretty flat riding today.  You can see the mountains in the east that we will be climbing on Saturday.  They just keep getting taller and taller as we get closer. These mountains in Washington are so green and pretty with all the trees.

Some nice riding through a bunch of towns today.  We went through Anacortes, Burlington, Sedro-Woolley, Concrete and a half dozen smaller places.  It was fun going through each one.  The maps we use keep you off the busy roads, so it was through the residential areas we went. It was fun to see homes and people.  The area we rode through is the Skagit Valley. A lot of agriculture, logging and mining takes place here. It’s a very pretty place.

It was again cool today.  Clouds threatened us with rain, but we again lucked out.  As soon as we arrived in camp, it began to rain. Worked on the water issues when we got back and I think I have them solved. Time will tell. There was a local grill close by and they were having taco night, so that’s what we had for dinner.  It was actually very good.

Concrete Washington. Used to be know for cement that was produced here.  All gone now.
