Day Seven

I rode my first century today- did 105 miles from Lake Quinalt to the train station in Olympia. I rode through Hoquiam, tires for sale in a front lawn, Aberdeen with it's agro drivers, through Olympia past state capital building, and finally to the train station outside town. There were half a dozen retired folks in the train station who seem to hang out there as a hobby, talking about which signal lights are the most beautiful, discussing different types of trains, tracks, and movies about trains, and getting totally pumped up when trains go by. I wanted to stay and hang out with them.

Wildlife list for the trip: banana slugs, black banana slugs, roosevelt elk, barred owl, woodpecker, loons, deer, rabbits, red tailed hawk.
