We pumped up tires, packed food and belongings and headed out of Fort Townsend State Park towards our last camping spot for the trip at Kitsap Memorial State Park. It was about a 25-mile day, headed east, through long, hilly roads. Eventually we crossed over the bridge and arrived at our destination late afternoon. Having […]
As we inch closer to our final days together, exploring the Pacific Northwest, there are still beautiful sights to see and special moments to have. Today, was just that. We left Sequim Bay State Park after a warm bowl of oatmeal and a beaming sunrise over the bay. Reminders of our evening swim the night […]
We biked from Heart o’ the Hills campground to Sequim Bay State Park. The group enjoyed learning about local marine life at the aquarium in Port Angeles. It was interesting to see how the vegetation changed from temperate rainforest to a more dry desert like landscape as we got closer to Sequim. The Olympic Mountains […]

Today was a pretty interesting day we didn’t have to do any biking so we spent the day walking around Vancouver. We went to a thrift store and Ralph bought a neon green shoe horn. Later in the day we came across a book store with weird old books all over the place and stacked […]
At the end of every night, the group sits around a warm plate of food and talks about our day. We have a tradition called rose, bud and thorn. Rose is the best part of your day, thorn is the worst, and the bud is something you are looking forward to happening on the trip. […]
We biked from Larabee to Birch Bay. We stopped for a couple hours to explore downtown Bellingham, the largest city we’ve passed since Seattle. At Birch Bay we spent time on the beach before enjoying Kyle’s Buffalo Mac and Cheese. Learn more about the Teen Treks Pacific Northwest Trek.
