Day 1

Deception Pass, WA - Anacortes,WA - Sedro-Wooley,WA (40 miles)

Today we official started our trip on the Northern Tier bike route! We dipped our tires are we headed out.

It wasn't far into our ride that we found ourselves a little lost. We knew there was a path to follow to go over the bridge connecting the island to the main land, but we couldn't seem to locate it.  Just then Tony rolled up on his bike and told us we could follow him across the bridge since he was going the same way. What luck!  We ended up riding about 5 miles with Tony before parting ways. He gave us some pointers about the upcoming mountain passes and chatted about life.

Today's ride took us to Sedro-Wooley where we met Erin and her 5 daughters through warmshowers.org. Erin and her husband have a camper and end up hosting tons of hikers and bikers. So tonight we spent the evening chatting and playing with Squermies. The best part was that Erin's  family was from Beaver Falls, PA! What a small world!

All in all today was great! Beautiful landscapes, wonderful people and all around pleasant cycling. I can't wait for what tomorrow has in store! Oh, and we saw 6 more bald eagles.
