(^18) Seattle – Shelton - 80 km
I was thrilled to embark on my first day of cycling in the USA,
boarding the ferry from Seattle to Bremerton. However, due to a
delay in the ferry's arrival, I didn't cover as much distance as I had
hoped.
From Bremerton, I followed Route 3 south, a scenic route that took
me through a landscape entirely new to me—tall pine trees with a
snowy mountain backdrop. Despite the cool weather, the sun was
out, and I had a pleasant day cycling to Shelton.
Since it was Memorial Day, practically every village I passed had
some kind of festival or fair, complete with corn dogs and lemonade.
After all, this was the USA! Just before the historic town of Shelton, I
was drawn to a campground, as there was a nearby food store. The
festive atmosphere and the delicious food were a testament to the
vibrant local culture, and I was glad to be a part of it, even if only for
a day.
