I will remember the state of Washington for the mountain sized stacks of bales of hay. We did have to share the road with huge tractor-trailers carrying massive loads of hay.
Harnessing wind power for energy seems to be ubiquitous and a growing phenomenon in Oregon and Washington.
Our team composition is like this: there are 28 participants, 11 of whom are women. Of the 28, 5 are signed up to do only the first 10 days. One of these 5, J.G. from Florida is actually leaving the group at the end of the ride today. S.M. is also from Florida and she is pictured here enjoying a shady spot for her lunch break. I sat next to her on the bus ride from Portland to Astoria. She too will be leaving the ride in Missoula, Montana.
Our ride has taken us along the road traveled by Lewis and Clark more than 2 centuries ago. For history buffs, you can read more about it here
This bridge across the Snake River brings me into my third state, Idaho.
The tan lines on my arms are photographic testament of the daily sun exposure on the journey.
This is the injury sustained by one of the participants when she fell from her bicycle.
If I succeeded in making you go "Wow" today, then treat yourself to a magic show on September 6th. It is for a good cause. LCGH Auxiliary does wonderful work for the hospital and the community.
