April 27 Back to the USA

48 degrees and misty rain this morning.  Don't think I would do well living with all this grey, but it does make you appreciate the sunny days! Yesterday's bumpy ride doesn't seem to have affected Greg, but Beth is sore, probably just from tensing muscles. We are both a little wind-burned.

Look, an Orca!  At ferry terminal.

We are heading to Duke Point this morning where we will catch the 10:10 ferry to Tsawwassen, which will put us south of Vancouver.  Greg exercised while we waited in line.  Smooth 2 hour ride and we then drove a little while to Blaine, the Peace Arch and US Point of Entry.  About a half hour wait and we cleared customs with no problem.

Heading south through Washington, we pass cattle and agriculture - many potato farms. Took Scenic Route 11 by Chuckanut Bay and Mountain.  Pretty scenes as we cling to the side of the mountain.

We take a detour onto Whidbey Island but it turns out to be a dead end (oops!)and not that scenic except for Deception Pass.

Back to Route 5 and south to Arlington from which we'll launch  tomorrow to Seattle. Spaghetti with italian sausage, salad and garlic bread for a nice dinner in the Trek.
