Hiya,

Here is the first news from Kerry's big bicycle trip: 

I'm waiting for a photo of Kerry from his friend in Seattle.  Its a picture of Kerry starting out. 

        Kerry left from Seattle to San Diego Monday, September 8.  Word from him wasn't expected for a couple days, but he did call Monday night.    When asked how he was, he said, "Tired."    He'd left his friends home in Seattle about 11:00 am Monday morning.    His friends rode with him to Bremerton and watched him ride away from there.       

Kerry rode in a southwest direction on Hwy 106 (?) toward Potlach State Park where that days leg ended.    He rode only about 46 miles and made it before dark.     He said the wind was on his nose, the traffic was a little heavy, the road shoulders were a little narrow, and he encountered rain 3 times.  And there were hills.      Knowing Kerry, he might not have gotten a full 8 hours of sleep prior, but I bet he slept the next night. (last night)        He's doing fine and expect to make it to Aberdeen or another state park near there tonight.   If he sends any mail, I'll forward it on.   That photo hasn't come in as of this writing.

I'll keep you all posted and let me know if I should take your name off this little newsletter.  We all are so busy.

Peggy
