The Return Trip – Day 6

The ferry docked in Bellingham, just north of Seattle around 8:00 on Thursday and it was back on the motorcycle again; back to lots of traffic on I-5 down through Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Portland, etc. The traffic was pretty heavy for the whole day and other than that it was an unremarkable journey. With the exception of Seattle that is, which looked absolutely stunning on the drive through on the freeway. It is a truly spectacular city from this perspective, made even better by the wonderful weather.

Indeed today was the first day of the whole trip without rain. Isn’t that something? That evening I made it as far as the City of Mt Shasta - that's a total of 630 miles - it didn;t seem that long, but that was the most miles of any day I think. Mt Shasta was looking splendid in the evening sun, there's still plenty of snow on the lower slopes should anyone be silly enough to want to climb it later (check this space!).
