Heading home

So on hindsight am really glad we left Gig Harbor today, Sunday, and NOT Monday! I did not really give thought to the fact that on Monday we would be in the midst of the work week and commuter traffic....

We have had a great summer, with lots of family, fun and adventures, BUT think I am missing home! We are a little like the horse that is headed back to the barn, head down, one foot in front of the other.

But one more stop on the way, decided to go by Defiance Point Park, near Tacoma. Looked like a nice view back to Gig Harbor over the water. Well it turns out the drive with the views is closed to vehicle traffic. So we located their off leash dog park and gave Charlie play time- lots of pups!

I thought I would jump on our bikes, but as we got my bike off of the rack the front tire just dropped off the forks. We discovered that both (?) the nuts that hold my front tire to the forks were missing?? What? We have no clue, how? So without having the front tire attached, we had to cram my bike into the back of the jeep. We really are clueless to what happened...

Made some wraps for lunch and started actually-driving home!? We got on 5 and will be there for the next 500 plus miles until we find 99! Got to Salem and pulled over about 4:30 so Tom would have some football time.Read more
