From the beginning

After spending 2 days around Seattle to get everything ready to go, i eventually got moving at 1.15pm on monday. I left Everett, after dipping my bike into the Pacific ocean, and got on the road. The first few roads were busy enough getting out of the city, but once i hit the 530, it all quietened down. As i started eastward there was a slight increase in height, and every now and then just a hint of a few decent hillse. By the end of the first day i was pedaling through pure logging country, huge steep sided valleys, covered in cedar and douglas fir and lumber factories interspersed throughout. Interesting sign outside a church said how there was going to be a meeting to discuss 'end of days' prophecies, so we must be good till tomorrow, not so sure about after that.
Day 1: Everett-Arlington-Darrington-rockpoint. 117km on the clock.
