The Brothers
The Olympic Mountains are formed on the Olympic Peninsula in Western Washington by the Cascadia Subduction Zone. On a clear day they dominate the western view from Seattle. Some days, like this one you can just reach out and touch them. They are all that stand between the Pacific Ocean storms and the Pugetropolis.
This picture was taken from a park on the Port Washington Narrows off of Tracyton Beach Road in East Bremerton.

Pedestrians…
About a week ago, I started doing some bike riding to get some exercise. All is going well, the first couple of days were very rough. I am getting a little better everyday. The area around here is quite hilly, typical of Western Washington. I have to either start up the hill, or end up the hill, truly up hill both ways.
Going down the hill takes me to the waterfront of the Port Washington Narrows. At the bottom is Lion’s Field, a complex of softball fields with a path for the pedestrians. The path is paved about eight feet wide and snakes all around the park. At one end is the “pedestrians only” sign. And since I come from the other end, I don’t see it. 
Yesterday I wasn’t even ON the STUPID path when someone said, of course, “this is for walking only”. I could have stopped and said something, but I kept on riding. About fifty feet later, the area between the fence and the water narrows so that riding through there, I must take the path. I am a very courteous rider and give the walkers plenty of room. But sometimes it just burns me up that people have to say something just to say something. Whether it’s justified or not.
Come on people, don’t you have anything better to do than flap your lips for no apparent reason?
That was the second time in a week. The first time I WAS ON the path, but there wasn’t anyone around, only one angry lady that yelled at me from about fifty feet away. Again I gave her plenty of room. Get a life people.

Pismo Beach FTW…
My most favorite place on the planet. Besides western Washington. If I could afford to live in Pismo Beach, I’d move there in an instant.
The weather is nice and the sunsets are fantastic. A very laid back hippie town.

The second leg…
The drive to Grant’s Pass was in and out of the rain. After stopping for lunch, I missed most of the rain. There was a short snow shower after I checked into the motel. The hills around Grant’s Pass were covered in snow. And I really didn’t need to see the “Snow Area: carry chains or tractions tires” sign cuz the rental didn’t have either.
I was going to California, wtf do I need snow tires for?

The first leg…
I wanted to get the fuck out of dodge so bad I left late on Friday night in a rainstorm. The driving was ok, but the retards on the freeway made me stop in Centralia. I stayed at the Motel 6 only because I couldn’t find the Holiday Inn Express. Someone didn’t do their due diligence…
Yea, Motel 6. Where the internet doesn’t exist and the towels are like sandpaper.
Lovely.
