Continuing the 'challenge' of a K bike near the beach (new K, but it's got two wheels and the K moniker). Here's a coupla piccies of my recent weekend ride from Fife, Washington over the back roads, avoiding Seattle, to Issaquah, Fall City, Duvall, Carnation, Monroe, Lake Roesiger, the fantastic Jordan Road-Canyon Creek after Granite Falls, Arlington, then Sedro-Woolley. Stopped for the night with an SV650/R1150R rider-mate, then touching the Canadian border, back down onto Fidalgo Island near Anacortes, Whidbey Island (over Deception Pass bridge) to Coupeville, then on the Salish ferry to Port Townsend (Duck's current pueblo), to Quilcene, along the excellent Hood Canal highway 101 past Hamma Hamma to Potlatch, Skokomish, Belfair, Purdy, Gig Harbor, then state highway 16 to home again.
Here is the bike on the ferry at old Fort Casey in Keystone, WA. A massive 18 wheeler had just occupied the middle row of the ferry next to the three bikes onboard. Our fare was $9.60 for the short crossing while his was $115.

Above, you can see out to the point of Cape Flattery near Neah Bay, out at the end of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the waterway separating Canada from the US, where Duck rode with his K buddy.
