Move to Bremerton

Woke up today at 7:45 got dressed at some, read some and finaly hit
the road in my rain gear. YES it was STOL raining at 9:30 when I took
off. I had to climb into the foot hills right away and then headed to
Shelton. Once in Shelton I stopped at DQ to warm up and dry off a bit.

Saddled up and had to climb up into some more foothills. After Shelton
and some heavy rain I hit Belfair. Missed a turn in Belfair because I
couldn't find the Sheriff station, so I followed Highway 3 into
Bremerton. This was exciting for me because one of my favorite bands
MXPX is from Bremerton. Once I hit Bremerton I had to pick up my route
again, which was easier said than done.

After passing Harlow Dr. of which I took a picture of for Mr. Derek
Harlow, I came to a washed out road. Chico Way had a stream running
through it. This wasn't going to stop me though and I didn't feel like
finding away around it. I climbed off the bike unhooked one pannier
and on other bag and carried down across and up the other side. After
returning to the bike and not wanting to have to make a third trip I
hoisted the bike with the other pannier up on my shoulder and carried
that down and across. It was tiring especially after 69 miles worth of
riding.

After 88 miles I made it to camp at Kitsap Memorial State Park on the
Hood Canal. Not sure where I am going tomorrow as I rode further today
in the 6 1/2 hours than I was expecting so I am about 160 miles from
Vancouver I think.

Now that I am dry I think it is time for bed.
