Jen's sad feet after riding all day in the rain. They were more purple than my camera phone managed to capture. Some insist that neoprene socks would have helped, but when it rains that much, we aren't sure it would have mattered.

See Jen. See Jen fix a flat. Ride, Jen. Ride.

Jen and Chris "cartograph" on the ferry as we head back to Bremerton. I really like this pic.

Jen cuts our way through the bushes so that we can make our U-turn and get back on the 'scenic' route.

Our last picture together before our little family was torn apart. We worked through this traumatic transition with some blizzards from Dairy Queen.

Lots of rain

Amy says they will get a motel tonight, and hopefully be able to update us about the ride. Here are two more pics. They hope it dries out soon.
