05/05/14 layover day

Got the tires replaced on the S10. Pictures show tires loaded on back of bike when I rode to the Yamaha dealer. Other two photos show new tires installed. Bike really rides differently with these tires.  Will find out how they ride on the highway tomorrow.

We had dinner again with Dave and Susan and really hate leaving tomorrow; I've enjoyed reliving old times with them.

Tomorrow we are riding the ~150 miles to Bellingham. We are taking highway 101 on the West side of Puget Sound to miss Seattle traffic. We will then cross the sound on a ferry north of Seattle and get on I-5 for the rest of the trip to Bellingham. Expect about a 4 hour ride through some great scenery. We will spend the night there and enjoy the day before catching the ferry to Anchorage that leaves at 6 pm. We have to be there 3 hours before departure to get bikes loaded and tied down.

We are not sure the ferry has wifi so may only post when we dock (2 times) on our way up to AK.

More tomorrow night.
