About Me

We are at it again. We cycled 1200 miles down the coast of Oregon, into California, over the Golden Gate Bridge and into San Francisco. Then it was a ferry across the bay to Vallejo and a lovely side trip up the Napa Valley to Callestoga. That was the end of the bike portion of our trip.

On and on we go!

It's hard to get the traveling bug out of our systems! We are still here on the west coast enjoying every minute. We spent a few weeks in Bellingham catching up with friends and family. Vicki (Dave's sister) got married on October 6th so we had lots of fun with all the festivities. We then left for a last round of traveling (by car this time). We have spent time in Anacortes, Seattle and the Columbia Gorge area. We tried to see Mount Hood, but saw lots of snow instead! Now we are heading for the Oregon coast and then to the Olympic Penninsula of Washington. Then it's back to Bellingham. I've got lots of beautiful pictures to share from this section of the trip! Check back!

Trip Total

Total Trip Mileage: 4100!!!!!

82 days on the road

Author's Note

So, our bicycle journey has come to an end. We sleep (indoors) in the same place every night and look like your average ordinary Joe walking around town. We have learned to eat normal quantities of food again and have not guzzled a super-size bottle of PowerAid in quite some time. What now you may ask? How does this story end? What will become of our main characters? Have we reached the end of the story or is this just the beginning? Check back for further info!

Here is the last of our pictures. Hope you like them!

Jan Morrison's Guest House




We had a wonderful time with our friend Judy's mom (Jan) in Sandpoint. Great food, great company, great football and the VIP tour of the town. Thanks Jan!

Our final state!


The Columbia River


The final mountain climbs

Washington gave us our four final mountain passes. As you can see, the elevations were not as high as our previous mountains, but we started each climb at a lower altitude also. So our last few days gave us beautiful scenery, but heart pumping cycling also!




Eastern Washington




Look how dry and open it is here. Not at all like Western Washington
