September 8: We arrived, sopping, cold and soggy, but safely at are Wa Showers host's apartment. His name is Travis and he is an avid tourer. At 29, he also is about halfway between Sam and I in age, which is nice. He helped us settle in our bikes down in the basement and bring all our gear up to his third floor apartment. We stow all the wet stuff in the tub and change out of our wet spongewear clothing. Sam and I decided that we need to slim down and prep more for the Northwestern Rockies plus the fact that at this moment, I have a barely functioning tent, so we decide to take tomorrow off.
