De route van dag 1:
Vanaf Seattle klein stukje Interstate om daarna via Mt. Rainier National Park naar het hotel in Packwood te rijden.
Omdat we rond het middaguur aankomen in Seattle en door de douane moeten alvorens we de motoren kunnen gaan halen, is de rit kort (122 mijl).
Het laatste stuk in Mt Rainier ziet er veelbelovend uit:
Mt Rainier is een schitterend park met een aantal veel gefotografeerde highlights.
We zullen zorghen dat we voldoende rolletjes hebben.
