Pressure

Now that Tim has let the cat out of the bag about the blog, someone might actually read it, which means there is pressure to write something interesting. Thanks Tim, for getting me started on this. Hadn't we had a few beers when we/you came up with this idea?

The plan so far is to start in Astoria, Oregon, famous as the final stop on the Lewis and Clark expedition. Their fort is still there. We'll have to visit for inspiration, they probably had less trouble getting across the country than we will. From Astoria we come down to Denver via Montana and Yellowstone country. We will take a couple of weeks off, to see my neice Kelci play in a national soccer tournament in Hawaii. Then it's off through Cornhusker country to Iowa where we'll ride across with DLO on ragbrai. Heading to Cinci from there, and on to Yorktown, Virginia. Then we'll go on north up to Wash. DC. That's where Tim and Nic have an arrangement with some good divorce lawyers. They want to make sure they've been taken care of.

Don't have a bike yet, looking for a recumbent tandem with a bag on the back, to carry all we will need for about 3months. No camping, even if we have to ride through the night. We'll splurge on a light. Out.
