Southbound

afe, in historic Port Hadlock Wa overlooking the Sound. At the rate I am going I am gaining weight.
Left Anacortes this afternoon after getting a new computer (odometer) for my bike. Began heading South toward Astoria, Oregon, the winter resting point for Lewis and Clark. Enjoying history, I can't wait to get to Astoria. Weather was cool today, no rain. Short ride of approximately 50 miles and now about 530 miles into the ride. For those of you who pledged a penny a mile to PAFE that is $5.30.

Just had a great meal at AJAX cafe in historic Port Hadlock Wa. overlooking boats on the Sound, listening to a great piano player. I happened upon the place simply by chance. Turns out it is rated as one of the best places in the entire region. Had a wonderful discussion with the owner about the challenges of running a great restaurant in a small community. At the rate I am going I will actually gain weight. Too many great little restaurants.

Tremendous amount of history in the area, ranging from the Spanish explorers to Lewis and Clark.

Got a great view of the water at Deception Pass (above).
