Day 92, August 20^th, Anacortes, WA to Edmonds, WA.  I was wrong to make a big deal yesterday about finishing the tour.  Today I rode to Edmonds to meet my relatives, Sherm and Mary Williamson and it turned out to be one tough ride.  Sherm and I talked and agreed that I would ride to Kingston, WA and catch the ferry to Edmonds.  It was cool and cloudy in Anacortes this morning.  I found a café for breakfast about 6am and got on the road by 7:15.  After riding out of town, I began the series of climbs that would last all day.  The islands of the Puget Sound area are NOT FLAT.  I crossed Fidalgo island and went across a very high bridge across Deception Pass, a narrow strip of water between Fidalgo and Whidbey islands.  The tide was flowing out at a very fast pace and there were many whirlpools.  The route across Whidbey island started out okay but then the Adventure Cycling route took me out along the shore.  Did I mention that the islands were NOT FLAT?  The climbs up onto the bluffs were some of the hardest of the entire trip.  The scenery was great but I am not sure worth the effort.  I finally made it to Coupeville for a snack of coffee and a Danish.  It warmed up some, but was still cool near the water.  It was a short ride to the first of 2 ferry rides over to Port Townsend.  Coming off the ferry, I was faced with more climbs across the Upper Olympic Peninsula.  I decided to take the most direct route but I still had to push pretty hard to get to Kingston by about 4 pm.  I did cross a huge bridge across the Hood Canal with 4 separate draw-bridge sections.  Traffic was very heavy and I couldn’t stop for pictures.  On the ferry from Kingston to Edmonds I met 5 women from Mount Lebanon, PA, in town for a reunion.  All had graduated from Mount Lebanon HS which is an adjacent town to my home town of Carnegie.  I had estimated the mileage to be about 50 Arba-miles and true to form, mileage for the day was a little more at 75.11.  I am NOW AT THE END!
