Day 1. Fly to Seattle, airport shuttle to Anacortes. Liz called in the evening to say they arrived safely, trip went smoothly. They set up outside a bike shop to reassemble their bikes. Bike mechanic provided advice while they reassembled. Then they rode to the campground near the ferry terminal, set up camp, and rested after a very long day. They sound great, and very happy.

Anacortes to Concrete. Cate called. Good day. Longer than expected. Some loose screws on her rear rack - hope she figures that out. They are in an RV camping park overnight, and she thinks it looks good. I'll bet they are tired.
They bought a fry pan for pancakes! Stayed at Colonial Creek campground, on Diablo Lake.

Liz called. Cell coverage has been nonexistent in the mountains. She called from a payphone. Said they were having a great time, but that Cate and Sarah had been too tired to ride into town from the campground to use the payphone. Camping is working out great. They are at Early Winters campground, in Mazama, WA. They climbed Washington pass today, 5,477 feet.
June 1.
They all called on a cell phone from Winthrop, WA where they had stopped for lunch. It had rained overnight but the weather had cleared up and they had a great morning ride mostly downhill. Sounds like a shorter day planned than usual which will give them some recovery time. Camping is working out well. They have met lots of people on the road. They are eating lots, including a half gallon of ice cream this morning! They are climbing through a pass a day. They still sound great!
The girls hope to access the internet from town libraries. So far, they haven’t had the opportunity. When they finally do, they can speak for themselves and post some pictures.
