Day 2 the adventure contrinues



Another long day 603 miles when it was all done and now I am at my Motel 6 resting and reflecting on the day.
5:45 it's twilight and cold. 42F. So I leave with just my normal gear! Mistake, I got so cold I stopped at 8 for bf and changed into the full dress gear. Much better and the scenery was much better as well because I did not shiver as much.
So Far the 3 mountains I saw, Shasta, Hood and Mt St Helens were unbelievable standing there all by themselves dominating the landscape for miles and miles.
Another impressive picture of nature were the acres of wild Forsythia blooming along the hwy!
The bike ran great and the only not so good thing was that the heavy week end traffic caused me to lose 2hrs in stop and go in the Seattle area. So instead of arriving at Bellingham at 2:30 as planned it was 4:30 and I am a bit tired.
Tomorrow early morning I will cross over into Canada and start riding about 300 miles a day on roads with very little traffic and great scenery. I'll be able to stop and take pictures as the ones today were all taken at 70+ mph on the freeway!
Now I'll run across the street to buy a bath towel as camp grounds do not provide them and tomorrow a camping I will go unless it rains.
So fa the weather has been outstanding up here! Wish me continued luck on my adventure!

  1. Photos not bad at 70mph on a motorcycle! Sounds like the scenery is starting to get good. Glad the pace will slow a bit, now!
