Day 1: On the road

There were hard final goodbyes this morning but we got all packed up, took off and made the (luckily) late 1:30 to Bremerton. Aunt Barbara and Liz were sweet enough to meet us on the other side and send us off with some ice cream.

 After surviving the fist bit on a less than ideal highway we had a pretty scenic ride most of the way. As soon as there were cars zooming by us on the rubble strewn highway shoulder I felt like I was on bike tour again.
When we arrived at Tawanoh state park at about 6 we saw an ominous "campsite full" sign. Good thing we weren't in cars! The park ranger kindly allowed us to camp in a day site because the hiker/biker one was full. Having camped in that site before I know how much we lucked out. close to the water but with a sound  barrier to the road. He only scolded us for showing up so late on a holiday weekend a little bit.
