I’ve been gone for a while but I have excuses!
Day 14 was a great day over the northern Cascade Range with challenging roads of incredible beauty. I was enjoying the ride right up to the point I saw people unloading skis from their cars. Drove to Anacortes and received a great welcome from Greg, Connie, and several neighbors including Max the cute little guy next door. Greg led us on a tour around the area then to the hotel he had arranged for us. Greg was back soon to drive us back to his house for dinner which was an excellent spread with plentiful beverages. Now we have arrived at the excuse lets blame it on the Gibbon’s hospitality or….the lack of internet in my room.
Day 15
Beautiful ride to the ferry then all to short crossing followed by a ride to the dead end at Neah Bay. Once on down the road to a motel I was doing a replay of the stomach bug that had afflicted Tim and Bruce so….no computer use.
Day 16
Woke up not feeling all that great with a light rain falling. I knew that if I could just get on the bike and ride for a while in the fresh air I would feel better, riding always makes things better. Bike wouldn’t start and eventually she was towed the 125 miles to a dealer that moved me to the front of the line fixed the bike and had me on the road by closing time. Excuse for the day: we could go with still suffering from the stomach bug or 125 miles with a chain smoking ex drug runner from Jersey n a beat up old tow truck. By the end of the day either excuse would be accurate.
Day 17
Felt much better today and looked forward to a good day on the bike and wasn’t disappointed. There was a little incident between a Harley and a gold wing today but the only thing bruised was egos. Rode over the Astoria Bridge which crosses the mouth of the Columbia River and is the Oregon border. Heading south on the 101 the weather continued to improve from cool cloudy day to bright sunny day with beautiful ocean views. Stopped to see a friend of JB’s along the way and had a great visit before heading south finally stopping for the night in Florence Or.

Glad you're back!
Had to check out Ken's post to see what really happened today...glad everyone's ok.
Hope you keep feeling better! Also hope you guys don't have any more unexpected events! Enjoy the great outdoors!
The weather here is heating up! The kids have been enjoying the pool...especially yours! It's a funny (and a little scary) sight when Hayden, Peyton, and Dog all jump in together!
Love ya!
Genna,
You have your dad's sense of humor, too funny!! Have to agree on the triplets jumping in together. It is the only time Max stops barking...
Missing you Chuck, know you will be home soon. Keeping the pool from turning green. Unfortunately, the grass is not either. xoxo
