G.A.S.P.

We rode to Anacortes the next day (8-12) completing David’s trip across countryAnacortes is one of the terminal points of the Northern Tier bicycle route published by Adventure Cycling. We waded in Puget Sound, part of the Pacific Ocean, to signify completion of the journey. We then rode to Deception Pass and crossed the high bridge onto Whidbey Island. The Deception Pass area is very pretty, a narrow passage between two islands that initially caused its discoverer in 1792, Captain George Vancouver, to be deceived into thinking he had found an inlet to the mainland. We found a campground and a nice restaurant where David bought my dinner. Thank you very much, David. I’ll get even later!
