We havent left left the planet just civilization! Yesterday we biked
an obscene number of miles through flat desert coverend in sagebrush.
It was very 2-dimensional and boring. And no towns aong the way so we
had to keep biking to reach water in tiny Christmas Valley. Our second
town of the trip called Christmas. Today was much improved as we biked
through national forests and saw trees again for the first time in two
states. Just lovely. Also went through a beautiful marsh and had to
climb over a ranchers locked gate to reach the water faucet. No towns
today either except for a tiny one early on. It would be lonely except
we both have great company along for the ride! Should be another five
days or so until we reach the coast. Lots of climbing over mountains
still to come. Why is there always one extra big hurdle just before
the finish line?

It's amazing to hear how close you are to finishing! Sounds like you'll be in the ocean breezes very soon. I'm happy to have been following along. Many good wishes,

You have come so far! Up and over the cascades and then you can dive into the cool ocean. You'll make that last big hurdle look easy.
