On the Road At Last

Friday
This posting is from Seaside, Oregon, some 25 miles SW of Astoria. The sun has begun to shine for the first time since I hit the state. Everything arrived intact: now I have to do my part. Astoria is a beautiful town at the headwaters of the Colorado, and the route wound me around Lewis and Clark's winter encampment. On the bus from Portland to Astoria I met Bruce, who is taking the TransAm all the way to York, Virginia. If that wasn't enough he will then turn north and travel to Syracuse, N.Y. He will be taking most of today assembling his recumbent at Heuers' Bicycle Shop in Astoria, but I will imagine I'll be seeing him sooner rather than later. I hope to do another 40 miles today but we will see.

Am enjoying reading about your adventure..wanted to let you know that the river you began at is the Columbia river, it is the river that separates Washington from Oregon. Thank you for loving my state (Oregon) as much as I do...I admire your dedication to your trip. Oregon is the bestest, not only for breakfast, lunch and dinner but just about anything else!
