Day2 Sun July 17th, 685 miles
It was about 80 degrees in the morning at Willows. I checked the tire pressure, got on the road and made some good time. I passed through some beautiful country by Mt. Shasta and lake Shasta. I got to Oregon, passed through Grants Pass, Eugene, Salem and then Portland. Traffic was awful passing through Portland, it was crawling, and there was construction everywhere.
When I got to Washington State, I hit a lot more slow traffic and construction riding through Olympia and Tacoma. I was hoping to make it to Bellingham, WA where a friend had let me use his house for the night but it was not looking like it was going to happen. All this bad traffic slowed my progress and I was getting tired of riding in stop and go traffic so I pulled into a Motel 8 in Tacoma for the night. The friendly desk clerk let me park my bike in the number one reserved spot right by the front door which the bike really appreciated.
