DESTINATION BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, United States of America. It was the first time Frank
and I crossed the border on our URAL bike. In order to get off the Vancouver
Island, we ferried across at Nanaimo and rode south on Highway 99 to the Peace
Arch Crossing. The crossing officer accepted our passports and waived us
through.
Our first stop was the Custer Rest Area where we shook our
hair loose from under our helmets and relieved the pressure of coffee consumed
on our first leg of the trip.
The purpose of our excursion was three-fold: to have the
bike maintained by a reputable shop; to meet up with family; and for me to shop
for dresses.
Bellingham has an open-space, country feel to it. Our
grandson took over as monkey and accompanied Grandpa to the workshop. They
spent over five hours with the mechanics fussing with everything on the bike.
It hummed like a song on our way back to Canada.
