Well, I missed going with you guys, but I did go with my husband around Lake Youngs Reservoir. Saw three blacktail deer in one spot (including a little buck), and one single deer by himself in another spot, so my husband was happy (he loves seeing the deer) about that. He's still looking to spot a bear (yes, they've been seen around the perimeter of the reservoir).
A good ride, and muddy to boot! Perfect for those mountain bike rides.

we saw some cormorants.
your ride sounds very pretty.
That wind and cold wore me out fast. Teigyr, on the other hand, seemed to thrive on it!

Strangely, it wasn't that bad around the reservoir. No wind, and not that cold. I think the trees managed to buffer everything. I can see that being a different story on the Interurban though. In fact, I can see it being downright wretched on the Interurban

Teigyr must be tough! It's probably a good thing I didn't join you yesterday, I'm pretty slow...

According to the National Weather Observatory (NOOA) ( no idea what the letters mean) there were 18mph winds and sustained of 12mph or something like that!!

Are you talking about the lovely Mercian? That is very nice, indeed. A bit more than I'd want to pay, unless I could see it in person, though.
My husband and I decided that today we would go over to the credit union located at the Seattle P & DC (that was your starting point) and back. It's just over 27.5 miles for us. That was a good ride

It was cold and I'd say the wind gusts were pretty substantial. No...no thriving here. If I thought about the wind, it'd be painful so I just put my mind somewhere else.
It was a great ride though and I look forward to doing it again!
