Miles 58, Total Miles 70
Wow, this day had some beautiful places to see. It was also a wonderful day to ride. The sun was out and the winds were light. However, the wind did blow from the south all day which created a headwind. I have to complain about something. 😊 I think it only got into the 60’s. I pretty much wore the jacket all day.
I left Blaine about 8:00 and the route took me to these roads that seemed to be in a refinery’s land. There were roads that went through, but pedestrians and bicycles were only allowed. It was some nice riding with no car noises nor vehicles. I then had to pass through Bellingham. I kind of like riding through towns. It was well mapped and kept me on roads with a bike path most of the way. It also took me through old Bellingham which was pretty neat.
I think the highlight of the day was riding through Larrabee State Park. It looked a lot like Olympic National Park, but had the bay on the other side which made it just beautiful. I will put som pictures in, but I know they won’t do things justice. It was just a nice first day. I found myself just loving the experience again.
We are camped at the Swinomish Casino tonight. It is probably the cleanest casino I have ever seen. They don’t allow smoking inside and it is just nice. We did buy us a burger inside for dinner and quite enjoyed that. Well, I am kind of beat. I guess for a first day, I should expect that.
