Yesterday I spent the day on Lopez Island, in the San Juans. This is the farthest west I will go on this "expedition". Began my ride in the rain, because this is what people do in Washington. Besides, the forecast was for the rain to stop. It did after about three hours of riding.
After a steep climb from the ferry landing on Lopez I had beautiful rolling hills around the island. I was pedaling through lush rain forest all day. Every driver who passed waved or said "Hello". I had to laugh to myself when they suggested preferred routes to avoid traffic. Being from LA I don't consider two cars per hour traffic.
The high point was seeing an animal in the middle of the road. I thought it was a cat, then a fox, but as I got closer I was amazed to come wheel to face with a baby fawn. When it saw me it skittered across the road on its spindly legs into the forest.
Life is good.
