Pictures!

If you only have 10 minutes, then scroll down and watch the video. But, if you have a little more time, here are three slideshows of more pictures from our trip.

Road signs take on a new meaning when you are a biker:

We had to get creative with our campsites:

Our bikes went a lot of places:

US Transcontinental bike trip photo video by Pat and Jess

Whew! We have done it! We challenged ourselves to pick 100 of our favorite photos to tell the fascinating story of our 90 day journey. So, with great pleasure and lots of smiles, Jess and I sifted and sorted for hours to select just the right 100 pictures from the thousands we took along the way. A grueling and difficult process for certain. After all each moment we captured is memorable and beautiful in its own right. Nonetheless, WE DID IT! And with what flare! If these photos convey even a fraction of the experience Jess and I marveled at on our 90 day adventure we will be thrilled. So please allow us to share these moments with you now…





The video is approximately 10 minutes long and does have sound so please turn your speakers on and enjoy!

Most computers are slow to upload the information. Tip: if it doesn't play smoothly the first time...play it again!!!

Hanging out in LA

A few days in Los Angeles and my brain has sped up.  Instead of processing the world at 10-12 miles per hour, it has caught up with the faster pace of traffic around here.  Readjusting to the world.....Showering everyday, clean clothes, those sorts of things.

Pat is healing well, but is not a very patient patient.  She only has a splint for her broken wrist (no cast), but is eager to discard that and downgrade to a smaller brace already. Until then, I have been cutting up her food, opening bottles for her, and washing her right hand.  All of which drives her crazy since she can't do those things herself. We did get some vet wrap from the pet store so now her arm is a bright blue, which is much more cheerful than the bland white stuff.

We reached LA several days ago and I still have not completely adjusted to sleeping in a bed and having space to stretch out. Those sleeping bags can be pretty restrictive and train you to lay still or do the rotisserie-thing to roll over. Also strange to cook fresh food and use several pots. There are so many dishes to wash!

We are going to spend the next few days exploring California - north and south, except by car this time. Pat is returning home to Chattanooga in a week, so we are going to try to fit a lot of sight-seeing. We plan to work on organizing our pictures and posting them online this week. No promises, but will let you know when they are ready.
