There are a few changes in the air

After staying in Seattle for a few days with Will’s aunt Alice in Capital Hill running errands and exploring the urban madness independetly of one another. The team decided to make Seattle be the last city where the three  travel as a trio.
Will has decided to focus on his photography, and finds that  the bike tour aspect of the trip makes it difficult to balance his desires to emersly photograph places and people.

Myself and Oki have continued  south via train to Eugene, OR bypassing cold rainy weather in northern Oregon. William has remained in Seattle before returning to Alaska to prepare for his primary photographic endeavor.

Today, as I publish this we are in Bandon, OR. Oscar  and I have successfully covered 266km in the last week. We have been through all kinds of terrain and seen spectacular sights. We have climbed as high as 769 ft in Cougar Pass and touched the Ocean at Sunset Bay. We have been through rain that Forest Gump described in his movie as ” Little bitty stingin’ rain… and big ol’ fat rain. Rain that flew in sideways. And sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath. ”

Last night we made a friend with another touring cyclist. His name is Ryan and he will be traveling with us for the next couple days. He has a big heart and a great will to explore and change the world which parallels our own visions. Our goal is to be in Crescent City, CA by Monday night. This means we are going to break our mileage record for two days. We need to travel 58 miles Sunday and Monday in order to make this goal. Thank you for reading and continue to send your love and positive thoughts. We love hearing from you .

Shout out to the ladies and the gentlemen cyclists we met in Edison, WA at the cafe. Also, to our reader on the rural Island in Alaska , to Liz and Aaron who housed us in Eugene  and, as always Laura Norton-Cruz for being our biggest fan.
