Hello everyone,
We've made it about 400 miles and completed the Oregon section of our transcontinental bike trip, and we figure we're legit enough to have a blog. Here's an update of the trip so far, mostly in picture format:
The true beginning of the trip, at the Pacific Ocean beside Gearhart, OR.
Buying fuel at the Shell Station . . . (i.e. isopropyl alcohol for our stove)
Tinkering with the bikes, Ruth's driveway, Portland, OR.
Multnomah Falls, Columbia River Gorge.
Whoa.
Never seen anything like that before. Called 9-1-1, but they already knew about it. Nothing to do but record in pictures.
Is Dave upside down, OR IS HIS ALIEN SHADOW RIGHT SIDE UP???
Rowena Crest viewpoint, looking down on the Columbia River.
And the highway we left the viewpoint by.
Self-explanatory.
So hungry. Why wait?
Bustin out the bandanas for the Eastern Oregon heat.
Leaving Hat Rock Campground. Can you spot the top hat shaped rock? Can you spot Abe Lincoln Rock underneath it?
Leavin Oregon for good, at least on this trip. Get ready Walla Walla!
That's it for the photo update as of now. Check back soon if you'd like to see where we are.
Hey Guys!!! Farewell!!! It is so exciting! That fire in the truck looked crazy... This is such an amazing idea, to keep this blog, and of coarse this is like, a legit trip. Fo sho!!! I can kind of go on the bike trip with you guys through your photos. Fantastic!
ReplyDeletep.s. If I don't see Schwarzenegger-sized thighs by the time you get back, I don't know what to say. That's even bigger than super-sized, f.y.i.
Peace, monkey-busters!

Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteYour Dad just sent me this link. We didn't get a chance to see you before you left. Just want to wish you both to have the wind at your back, the sun out of your eyes, and please watch out for those people in cars without any "bike awareness"!
Safe travels,
Steven, Bonnie & Milo
