Final Word
Final Odometer |
To those of you that followed me, texted me, thought of me, and prayed for me, I thank you all.
Final word,
Good morning, and in case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening and good night!
Day 50
All set. I rode the final stretch along the beach front sidewalk at Seaside. The family was there with signs of congratulations. Perfect ending. The sun was out and we had a wonderful day at the beach.
Day 49
I am moving along at a comfortable pace. I have coordinated with my family to meet them at Seaside, Oregon at the turnabout at the beach. I have many great memories as a child on summer vacation with my family there. I will stop short today, put the tent up one more time. Tomorrow I will finish.

Day 44
I have been riding long days every day so I made it to Oregon. This is it. The last state. So far it looks like Eastern Washington, like between Yakima and Ellensburg. Today was hilly, but tomorrow I climb three Mountains right away.
Haven't seen a west bound rider for days. It is lonely when you are out in the giant openness.

Day 42 Update
I reached Idaho late on Day 41. It was a difficult day. Near Lolo, Montana the wind was blowing very hard from the side. It was difficult to stay up. I yelled out in fun at Mother Nature "Come On! You Can't Beat Me!" and she tried harder. She got back at me later. I was on this six mile climb to the top of a mountain pass before Idaho and the cold cold rain drenched me. I was at the last available spot that evening in Powell, Idaho. They were nice. They made a deal with a cabin renter to allow me to sleep out of the rain on the porch. I took about a 20 minute hot shower.
Today the weather was nice. I traveled along a beautiful river for 66 miles before I got breakfast. The waitress was amazed at how much I ordered; two full breakfasts and pie. The funny thing was some people eating breakfast saw me later in the evening at another restaurant. They were smiling because I drank five strawberry lemonades.
Not many pictures because it looks much like Washington.
