Seattle, Washington

Day 2 - 450 Miles

The forecast says another hot day, but we got up early and caught as much of the cool of the day as we could. By the time we're done, we more than make up yesterday's shortfall and end up in Seattle.

Not that we didn't spend a lot of time waiting for various traffic accidents to clear... and as they were in the afternoon, no reason to even slog it out on the road. The Shell manager was none too pleased. His store was overrun with people buying very little and using his facilities. And out of gas too... so he was clearly depressed over the additional "customers"

No lane splitting in Washington either. I asked a patrol officer. He said it was "highly" illegal. Makes one wonder what "just a little illegal" must mean.

But we made it into the burbs where my sister lives, showered, and grabbed a dinner at one of the local eateries.

She makes a comfortable bed.

Total Miles: 962
