Arrival in Belfair

Currently in Shelton, WA-day two. It's 3pm and we rode 30 miles today. We may stop here, or we may try to gt a little closer to Olympia where my dad's cousin lives.

Here is yesterday's entry. Pictures to follow. We are doing alright!

Rode 30 miles today. 11 of those were in Seattle itself, just taking it in. From Bremerton to Belfair were 20 miles. It took us about 3 hours. After or 8am ride around lake washington with ariel this morning (which was beautiful), we packed up and put our bikes on the ferry to Bremerton. Seattle looked pretty floating away from us against a dramatic, dark sky. The ferry was easy, and bikes get to be first in line getting off, ahead of all the cars. Bremerton itself was stupid. We went all sorts of creative ways to avoid busy roads but just ended up on impossible hills on not-so-friendly roads. To Ariel, or anyone else doing this route, just stick to the water, close to hwy 303 without getting on it. Once on old belfair hwy however, riding is easy, and mostly down hill. Same with route 300. The park is beautiful-right along a lake, and our campsite has a nice view of it. It is so sunny we are hot! It feels so good because so far this state has been mostly chilly.
