Here we are on the eve of our grand adventure, staying at the Gateway Bed and Breakfast in Anacortes, WA. Thanks to Bernie and Joyce Zeldow for putting us up last night in Seattle and for driving us up here this morning.  Our bikes were reassembled and ready for us at the Skagit Cycle Shop and a shakedown mini-ride shows all systems ready to go.  Our first day is planned to to be 85 miles or so to Newhalem, WA, and the campground there. A full dinner tonight should get our engines ready to fly and we’ll head out early AM in hopes of making Newhalem before the sandwich shop there closes at 5. Weather forecast is clear and sunny so it’s off we go!
