Our Pacific Northwest Trekkers had a big day -- or at least some big hills -- and they really rose to it! Here's how Dan described day 5:
Break Day! After biking 25 miles yesterday, with the MOST ANNOYING HILL, we made it to Moran State Park on Orcus Island (part of the San Juan Islands), surprisingly in one piece. After setting up tents and eating delicious sloppy joes and brownies, we sat around the campfire and told stories of our childhoods: gerbils in RC cars, purposely lighting hair on fire, and accidentally calling 911 on a fake firefly cell phone.
More from Dan:
Today, we woke up late, and the guys made the most delicious breakfast we've had: eggs and bacon! Then, we biked up to a hiking trail (on a somewhat less annoying, but still pretty annoying, hill). We hiked up this steep mountain to get to the summit. There, we ate lunch, climbed up a castle tower, and enjoyed a wonderful scenic view that included Mt. Baker.
In addition to sloppy joes, our Pacific Northwest Trekkers got to enjoy another campfire classic, s'mores:
Tomorrow, they'll be crossing into Canada, making their trek officially an international adventure!
