Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show to Jarrell Cove with MS 150 Team Acropolis
was considered a great ride, enjoyed by all. Food stop was at the 15 mile mark,
a QFC, and we stopped for drinks and such at a small store at the 33 mile mark
before completing the 39.6 miles total to the park for a picnic. The ride to the
park split into several groups with the time between fast and slow arrivals
being only 15 - 20 minutes. For the return there were also faster and slower
groups, with 7 riding into Bremerton and 6 taking the Port Orchard foot ferry.
On the return, we stopped at a nice Gyro/Ice Cream shop on Hwy 106 at the
21 mile mark for much enjoyed treats.
