The Latest From the Road…or Not

The first four pictures are from the 26th. That's Seal Cove Lighthouse. He thought it was a cool old-fashion lighthouse. He stayed at New Brighton State Park. There were no signs leading to this campground so it took him a long time to find. After wondering around for a several miles he finally asked where it was. He ended up finding it. A biker from Seattle that he had met a few days earlier was at the same campground. It was nice to see a familiar face.




The last picture is from the 27th. That’s Vet Memorial Park. It’s located almost at the top of a very steep hill. It was hard because he rode all day and had to finish with that hill. He was lucky that he only rode 47 miles that day, so it wasn’t too bad. He met a guy from Britain at this campground. He really liked talking to this guy. The guy had just finished school and got a job offer, but he told them he didn’t want to start until September so he could take this trip.

Most of his ride was through really cool farm country. There were miles and miles of cool strawberry fields. He stopped and bought a box. He said one of the strawberries was as big as an apple. The strawberries were a nice little treat. It was overcast, but 70 degrees.

So Dad sent these pictures a couple of days ago with a really long message. Unfortunately, I couldn’t understand one word of that message. It went along the lines of “……Light House…..long day…..remote…..no electricity or running water………I’m turning my phone off………..I’ll call you later.” So that’s all I have to report until I get a hold of him.
