From there wešll take the Strait of Juan de Fuca Highway (SR-112) to Clallam Bay and then south back to US-101. The route passes through Folks, Kalalock, and Amanda Park on the way to the overnight stop in Aberdeen. From Aberdeen we go east on US-12 and back roads to McCleary and Kamilche, where the route picks up US-101 again for the trip up the west side of the Hood Canal back to the bridge and the finish at Kingston.
