Well today was a bit frustrating (which usually means i need to eat). About 20 of the miles i put in were in the wrong direction. Or rather, I started going towards hwy 101, but by the time I got there, i put a new southern destination in, and the GPS sent me back the way I came. Then I thought about it, and it is Saturday. Im not sure how the 101 is here, but on the Olympic Peninsula, it was terrible. No shoulder, logging trucks and these tour buses piloted by a bunch of 70-year-old anesthesiologists do not make for fun bike trips.
On the plus side, I met some nice people a few minutes ago as I filled up on water at a small general store. The lady behind the counter gave me a couple of hot dogs and filled my water for me while I ate and regaled the patrons with tales of the road. Good times.
Now I'm making a split pea soup to use up some of this water, then I hope to get another 20mi in tonight before bedding down. A few more days in Oregon.
