Pacific Ocean

We did it!!! Today, after 4,627 miles and 90 days of bicycling our way across the country, Jess and I touched the Pacific Ocean...successfully completing our coast to coast Americana tour! If people could hug an ocean I think we would. The ocean just gives big sloppy wet kisses in return.
We landed at the coastline of the Pacific Ocean in Crescent City, California. We realize this is somewhat different than our original thoughts of reaching Portland, OR but we have new and exciting future plans...*see below...
Across the country, we went through 12 states, 3 new tires/7 flats, saw countless state parks and forests, endured 109 degree deserts, crossed 9,000+ foot mountain passes, sunk into caverns, road ferries, watched historic and modern baseball games, toured museums, read dozens of historic roadside markers, stumbled into rodeos and tractor pulls,were bombarded by hail, backed down by a bison, traversed mudslides, visited waterfalls, met hundreds of fascinating people, camped illegally more times than not, experienced local cuisine and culture, etc, etc, etc.. So, so many stories to tell. All in all it was the adventure of a lifetime! YEAH!!!!

* Note... We are having so much fun we have decided to continue our trip, extending it to Los Angeles. We plan to keep posting on this blog site as long as we are riding and hope you all keep reading.
