Oh my gawd I just went blind! :laughing

It's taken me two weeks just to post the above! Now that I've committed though, I'll get to it as time allows.

No need for words kent. Just post the pics and we'll figure it out, less work for you. :laughing

And don't forget to blur out your face, no one needs to see that. ;)

Day one I decided to head down to Washington and take in the Olympic Peninsula. The sky started off clear and sunny at home, but I caught up with the fog coming down into the Valley. The fog rolled along and stayed with me until I was past Anacortes and over Deception Pass in WA, on Whidbey Island.

A little about Deception Pass and how the Island was named.

The bridge over the Saratoga Passage.

All trussed up and nowhere to go.

Crappy focus, but you get the idear. Welcome to Whidbey!

The fog has lifted, and with an hour wait for the ferry to Port Townsend, I took a few shots of the scenery. I'm definitely coming back on my road bike.

Did a similar trip at the end of July... wish it was longer... time constraints limited our route... as well as road closures(thanks J_Scott for the heads up re:Mt St Helens east pass)... here are some of my pix... July 26/27, 2008 (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=62864&l=fe8e5&id=577880780)

And here's the mapped out route map (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1551871&l=8fa75&id=577880780)

He must be posing. To pose or not to pose that is the question.

Sorry 'bout this. I'm heading out on the m/c on another trip tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have more time when I get back to finish posing here. :)

This bump is for you Bandito. You can see I'm about 1 year behind with throwing up my pics. :laughing

At least there's "some" proof you actually made the journey.....not quite sure about Bandito.

How about some of us do a repeat journey and post the pics?
