Back in the lower 48 – wooo hoooo.  We crossed the border at the Sumas crossing and took the back roads into Bellingham, WA.  Those roads take you through very small towns and farm fields.  All of us really liked that tour of the countryside and considered it our welcome home ride.  We are very happy to be back on home soil.  Nothing against Canada but it just isn’t the same as being in the USA.

Today we started in the cold rain again but it actually warmed up enough that by the time we were waiting at the border, we were down to t-shirts, jeans & summer gloves.

John will go with us down Interstate 5 tomorrow through Washington but will cut off the interstate to Sisters, OR and we will continue to visit some of our friends in Winston, OR.
