Beautiful first 10 miles through the Olympic National Forest, skirting Mount Walker. Then you drop down the other side to the spectacular Hood Canal. Having sunshine is a bonus. Here's a little video clip of me after arriving at Potlatch..
Lots of great chances for photos today
Climb was a piece of cake
We need this law in California!

Half-Way House in Brinnon at the Quarter-Way point
Stopped in Brinnon for lunch at the Half Way House. I'm only a quarter-way through the day's ride but that's one of the luxuries of being Me right now. Tried fried Hood Canal oysters here. After one, I thought they were pretty good. After two, I realized that I just miss fried food, and still don't like oysters.

Cycling the Hood Canal reminds me of cycling around Lake Tahoe
Crazy awesome wild blackberries all along the road
Clara & Hannah firing up a couple BBQ oysters for me at the Hama Hama. Now these oysters were tasty!
Rode back to Hoodsport for Mexican food in my new Hama Hama shirt
