Davenport, WA to Deer
Park, WA
62 miles
Today we left highway 2 for the first time since we left Everett. We had several turns to make, mostly on roads whose names we did not know in advance, so we rode together more than usual, but just in case the van or the Jeep was there at most of the turns. Except than Win Westervelt started out real early, and took a whole different route than we did.
We also left the relatively flat open spaces for some good (and steep) hills and trees. Mark Schmick broke a second spoke, and is having his wheel rebuilt in a nearby bike shop as I write this.
