A bit of History

Rode approximately 90 miles today. Crossed the Hood Channel, a 1 and 1/2 mile floating bridge, narrow and windy! First 60 miles were very hilly with a strong headwind. Last 30 miles were through farm country with a tailwind.

Am staying at the Olympic Club Hotel in Centralia, Wa. tonight. The hotel was built in 1908 and was famous for its gambling, revenue agent raids during prohibition and a bandit's bravado. My room was the favorite of Jack Sicutto, an alleged famous Northwestern bootlegger and a fight promoter during the 1930's. Not sure how I will sleep tonight as my room is over the stage for the band which is rocking like crazy!

Another cold, wet day. Weather is supposed to turn tomorrow and be warmer and dry.

Thanks to Mike and Melissa for a great dinner in Anacortes on Saturday. Good to catch up with an old friend.

Having trouble uploading any pictures today, will have to wait until the next day I have an internet connection.
