Compass Rose to Sequim Bay State Park (19 mi)

Yes, this happened. :)

We had a leisurely pack up at the farm because we were receiving a delivery of a lost puppy at 10:30. Alice was so excited to have her puppy, Bike-toria, back.

Once on the road it was downhill and then onto the Olympic Discovery Trail along the water. We stopped for the most delicious cherries I’ve ever had (“strawberry Rainiers” picked the previous day) and enjoyed the mostly flat path and quiet roads. We eventually made our way to Sequim Bay State Park, where the hiker/biker sites are right off the ODT. The forest here is absolutely beautiful, and we saw some very old cedars. What a special spot.

Tent is now packed up, but this is where we were overnight!

Why will I carry this cantaloupe all day? Why not?!

There were a couple nice bridges

It feels like we went back in time with these big ferns and trees
