In Anacortes, Washington at the starting point of our journey.
Still the first day...our first and second flat tire changes. This was when it was still cute and funny enough to take a picture of. From here forward, we have no more pics of the flats!
In Washington, riding closer and closer to those Cascades!
Our first night (we were waiting for it to get dark so that we could pitch our tent without being seen since it wasn't an actual campground) and morning as bike tourers!
Some foothills and the sweet little dog that I befriended. He ran alongside my bike for about a mile before he ran out of steam.
This was a pretty bridge to ride across.
Taking a Snickers break. Mark is really good at taking the action shot pictures. I'm not quite so coordinated.
Left: We would've been a lot less happy had we realized that we were on the wrong road! Right: Eating brunch the morning after a really hard downpour.
The entrance to the Cascades. This was the beginning of the HEAVY riding!
Left: Look at that scenery!! Right: That little speck of yellow is Mark hiking down to the creek to get some relief from the heat.
Some of the prettiest riding EVER!! Mark is a great photographer!
There are many more pictures that we'll eventually post on facebook. This is all I have time for right now as I need to go find Mark...he's somewhere down the road ahead of me. Hope you enjoy them!

Sarah, Thanks for the pictures. I am putting them on the wall at church. Everyone will be tickled to get to see them. I cannot wait for your Mom and I to start an adventure just like this one. She rode her bike for the first time Saturday. I cannot wait to get away with just the two of us, our bikes and some good time with God and all He has created. Love you, Dad.
