Yes, avid readers of the comments section, it is true: we reached Crescent City on Monday, August 8, after eleven weeks of riding. The moment was emotional.
I know many of you are waiting for a post about the last weekor so of the trip, and I'm sorry not to have wrien it up yet. It's just, like, I'm a little bit burnt out, you know? From biking. Across the country. We really tore it up the last 8 days on the road there, and a lot of really noteworthy stuff was happening -- that of course is when I'm least interested in pecking at the Blackberry (R). Then we drove down the coast to visit Lemairekid in San Francisco, and would you spend your 46 hours in one of the world's greatest cities blogging, impatient readers? No, you wouldn't. So then I went to Dallas for a day to see my fam while Bonesy high-tailed it back to the Burly Veets. I am finally writing this from a Greyhound bus that just pulled off I-89 into town, and guess what? I'm going to have to get back to you later. In the meantime, check out the photos that Bonesy put up -- they're better than anything I'm going to end up squawking about.
I've been wondering! Congratulations! Your blog has been great fun annnnnd a little worrysome at times. WHEW! My best to you both! Kathy at the St Paul bookstore

Congratulations! It is somewhat of a small world as I am from Essex Jct, VT doing the same thing! I took a different route and have had a different, but amazingly wonderful experience. I'm in St. George, Utah now, I decided to get a ride over the desert so I'll be in Cali in a couple days with 2500 miles of biking under my belt. It only took 35 days to reach this point, but I really powered through the midwest. lol. I can't wait to just relax on the sunny beaches of Cali. *dreamy sigh*
