Where's Washington State?
Our anticipation of reaching Washington grew this morning we looked at our map and determined we were only 20 miles away from Newport, which is a town on the Washington state line. We looked forward to reaching the thirteen and final state on our bicycle tour and we planned to take a picture of the state welcome sign to document this milestone.
However, when we rolled into Newport this afternoon, we did not see a state welcome sign. So we wandered the town streets looking for a welcome sign and after searching unsuccessfully for a couple hours we began to wonder if we were even in Washington! As a last resort, we questioned a local man and he confirmed that we were in Washington State, but then told us with a big grin that there isn't a welcome sign since as he put it, "they did not want us to know we were in Washington . . ."
