Today we got up to very smoky conditions. We heard Sunrise, Wa on the east side of Mt Rainier was evVuated due to fires close by. So we headed out and spotted some deer ruining by. Maybe they smelt the smoke as well! We made it to Anacortes where we met Susan and Bob Cummings. They were are neighbors in Marlboro, Ma and Bob picked up our bikes from the local bike store where we had them shipped to. We had a wonderful lunch with them and then Mark and I biked to the ferry and met Paul and Janet who drove the car there. We had to bike as we don’t have a bike rack or room in the car for bikes. But it was good cause we tested our bikes out after being shipped. We had s wonderful ferry ride to Orcas Iskand. It was still smoky and couldn’t see in the distance but we passed many fishing boats, sailboats and pleasure boats. Once we arrived at Orcas Island Mark and I biked to our hotel which really tested me out as it was quite up hill. We stayed at the Outlook Inn which is a quaint hotel in Eastsound. At night we went to Random Restaurant which had Thai food and open mike for musicians. Quite the assortment of entertainers and Eliza Rickman was the opening act. She played the glockenspiel, piano, ukulele, kid piano, bells and other instruments which I had No idea what they were. She had a beautiful voice and is very whimsical. Look her up on Google. .It was a great day!
