We awoke to a beautiful and bright day on the mooring ball we had roped to, took a couple trips ashore rowing our bikes and gear in Bob's dinghy, and began biking. We were going to bike to Hurricane Ridge, but we met a bike camper with a violin on his back who was headed to the Elwha hot springs, so we went with him there. It was about 60 miles to camp, most of them hilly and beating into the wind. Entering the national park felt like a breath of fresh air though.
We set up at Altair camp ground about 8, then biked a steep 5 up to the hot springs, hiked in a couple miles, and soaked ourselves in a couple-foot-deep pool of sulfurous spring water. It felt amazing after the day of biking.
