Our first Road Angel

Five of us and four bikes packed into my pickup truck when we reached Bainbridge Island, WA. My wife had agreed to shuttle the truck back to Seattle after dropping us at La Push on the Washington Coast. As we made our way through the pouring rain, the bikers realized that we had encountered the first Road Angel. It was Shirley, my wife (2nd from the left). The original plan was to use public transportation to get from the ferry terminal to the coast. This would have been no fun at all, as one bus can take only two of the four bikes. Hours and hours would be lost, waiting in the rain – to then camp in the rain.
