... batteries and looking at all of the spectacular views Fort Flagler offers by sitting on a bluff overlooking the Puget Sound. We didn&#8217;t go into any of the historic buildings, except for the museum/store. I recommend a trip inside the museum so that you can read about the history of Fort Flagler. I also love looking at old photographs of the Fort in it&#8217;s hey day.<br><br>Fort Flagler is kid and pet friendly.

Wednesday we drove north to Everett to visit the Boeing. We took a tour of the 472 million cubic foot plant. Well, not exactly... we saw two sections of it. It's amazing to see how many planes are inside and how the process all comes together. We saw the new 787 Dreamliners being assembled. And we saw the Dream Lifter - a modified aircraft that can ...

Well, another oil change and a new front tire. Skagit Valley Polaris folks couldn't be nicer. My, how the money flies. Hard to believe the big fella is over 13,000 mi old now. Ran an errand in Bellingham and now riding south along the coast (Chuckanut Dr and Rte 11 - ah, the evergreen scent) to Anacortes. The road is glorious with twisties ...

... church, with many thanks to our Unitarian hosts, we continued on the scenic Olympic Discovery Trail in the company of Pat MacRobbie, who was guiding us to a pick-up place some 5 miles ahead. Along the way others joined us for abundant walking and talking. Pat's husband, Stuart, picked us up near a coverted railroad trestle over a salmon creek in a beautiful park and took us to the MacRobbie home in Sequim. Once again we were impressed by the commitment of our hosts to living ...

... their own. Our three support vehicles are either running ahead to set-up base, roving to make sure all pods are ok and accounted for, or running for food and essentials. The first days have been LONG, and arduous, but the team is already starting to pull together as we fight through together to achieve this crazy goal. Our logistics have been a bit out but with walkie talkies in each pod its usually easy enough to get back on ...

Dryver: I have a travel pod online that I wrote and posted pictures while I was away. I just posted some pictures of my first month at home. Mostly random but worth taking a look.

... dirty t-shirts. Hmmmm....traveling! I still sported the beard though. It's more difficult than one thinks to shave off that facial hair after investing so much time in not shaving it. Rambling. Reunions with more friends ensued... Sunny, Patsy, Courtney, Rainbo, and Sarah. It was a short, but amazing time with them...and again... I realized how much I missed them in my life. Damn!
