Got a better start this morning around 830 out of the RV park. We were headed out on the 101 briefly before getting a hopefully less traveled road once in Montesano. Again, the weather remained chilly and overcast. Blaimed Doug for ruining my sun streak!
Once in Elma there were some unlabeled back roads that we were trying to find. Stopped to get directions and found just a perfect riding road for about 22 miles into the town of Shelton where we were planning on lunch. Had been a very flat day that we were happy about and with the overcast skies, virtually no wind. We'll skip the pizza this time!
Doug had some friends on Mason Lake that we could potentially stay with and again found a great back road to get there. Unfortunately, they had just left to return to Seattle so we headed further north another 9 miles into Allyn.
Stopped by an RV park to spend the night but no tenting options. An old guy then told us to go down to the little town park and ask. Not feeling confident about our chances since they were setting up for Allyn Days this weekend I found a guy that was wearing a Security vest. Thinking that he was just a security guard for the event, turns out he was the Deputy Sheriff. "Sure, no problem, just set up over on the grass, water over there, bathrooms nearby and don't forget to hit the Firehouse in the morning for pancake breakfast!"
This trip just continues with the best of luck all the way to the end!
Tomorrow, my last day, a short 35 mile ride to Doug's house in Tacoma.

Hey hey! Well done, brother. I must admit, I was your biggest doubter, but you proved me wrong. Very impressed. But from your last post, this biking gig appears to have made you a bit sentimental, and I am wondering if my earlier prediction that this adventure may erode your masculinity has come to fruition. There's no crying in biking! Anyway, I've enjoyed reading about your adventures and am happy to have been able to follow you everyday. Now, I just have to figure out a way to one up you. So, are you going to bike back to Minneapolis? Taking the plane would be pretty lazy :)
