This is day five and since it's Sat. I'm taking the day off. I made it to Lake Quinalt yesterday, got a cabin and now I'm staying. So farI've put 180 miles on the bike in 15 hours. The first day was brutal.According to my maps, From Port Angeles to Klahowya campground, which was closed, forcing me to camp illegaly (they forced me to do it officer) the elevation gain was roughly 2,00 ft. I weighed my bags before I left San Juan and with the weight of my bike I'm pushing around 90lbs. I should be like totally buff in three more days. On my third day I put in 60 miles to make it to Beautiful Kalaloch campground, right on the coast. This is where I noticed that my rear rack was bent and cracked due to a missing bolt. Look here LIFE, you're starting to piss me off! So I made my way around the campground and scrounged some tools from some friendly neighbors. I still need to stop in Aberdeen and geta new rack but hopefully this will get me there.

Ah, Kalaloch. It's crazy that things are going to rough for you in the start, but rest assured, you want all these things to happen when you're still in relatively familiar territory. By the time you get to sketchy places, you'll have all the kinks worked out.
