| View of the sunrise from the pebbly beach |
My morning in Port Townsend was very nice. It was one of my favorite sunrises ever! I eventually rode into town and got some breakfast and extra food for my last leg of the trip. Port Townsend is a nice town with lot of great views of the sound!

 |
| Great place for breakfast |
 |
| So peaceful |
After getting food, I started down the Olympic Discovery Trail. I saw the old paper mill south of Port Townsend. Apparently, it only produces recycled paper now. Good for them! Then the trail cut across to Discovery Bay. The road leading to Hwy 101 was one of the more dangerous stretched of my trip... but it was pretty.

| Lots of highway riding on the peninsula |
After a bit of highway riding over a peninsula, I arrived at the Jamestown Tribal center. A little tired and not having stopped for a while, I slipped off a path and had my first and only fall. I didn't cry though... it was merely a flesh wound. I met some nice people and chatted before continuing on through Sequim. There were lots of cool old bridges around here and I saw a few people, particularly when passing through parks and by schools. I finally arrived at Port Angeles, where I caught up with an old friend.

| Ouch! |

| My favorite of the bridges |

| Port Angeles |
Leaving Port Angeles, I has some path-finding to do. The Olympic Discovery trail ends at this city. Continuing on Hwy 101 would be difficult because everyone I asked said it was very dangerous along the south side of Crescent lake. In the end, I chose to go NW to camp at Salt Creek campground. It was gorgeous. There were deer everywhere. There was no beach but stairs led down to a shelf of rock that was exposed at low tide. There were coin-operated showers and I scrounged up 50 cents. It was a great evening! I was excited to finish my trip the next day!
