| We left home at a leirsurely 11AM, waved off by Kath. |

 |
| It was a exceedingly short cycle to the Commercial SkyTrain station where we hopped on Expo Line, King George (I can still hear her voice) and trained/bussed to White Rock (cheating? maybe, meh!) |

 |
| Ikea bags for the win, those $1 wonders make transporting 4 panniers and other odds and ends onto a bus a somewhat less painful experience (but still painful) |
 |
| We rode across the border at Peace Arch and received precisely zero attention from homeland security. We lunched in Blaine before proceeding to get lost trying to find Ferndale and an equally peaceful path through to Bellingham. |
 |
| Eventually we found Chuckanut Drive and made our way to Larrabee State Park. |
Somehow I forgot what Kevin and I learned previously about this park: an
extremely close, loud, and active railway run straights through it. Consider yourself warned. Lets just say ear plugs were no match. Overall, a great start to the trip, waved on, whistled on, and cheered on by random friendly strangers.
