The weather forecast was not looking so good for the day, but we could handle it because it was our last day. The day started off overcast, and we had our rain gear ready, just incase. The first half of the day we had some light rain showers, and stopped at a pizza place on the side of the road. We demolished a large calzone and Stromboli. we crossed our fingers that we had no major climbs after lunch, or else it might end up on the side of the road. No major climbs, but it poured the entire last 1/2 of the day... Not a light drizzle... Down Poured! We had to think optimistically, and decided it wasn't soo horrible due to the 60+ temperature :) Sally got a flat on her rear tire 10 miles form our end point... Damn! Kayleen took a spill (Sally said it looked like a ballerina-acrobat move) onto the side walk about5 miles from the end, and after that Sally and Kayleen almost got hit by a car, Kayleen's trailer got a little bump... Crisis averted. We made it to Kearston's house soaking wet.... But we where DONE! 4,268 miles under our belts, no lets turn around and go back... Yeah Right!

Congratulations on a your journey! So jealous but am trying to talk Mike into doing a similar trip in three parts. I may be in touch for idea's. If you are back in PDX I'd love to hear of your adventures in person. Beth (Ruth Anne's aunt)
