7/15
From Corvallis Alex and I rode north through Portland and met up with a few friends from Taylor who are on a bike trip of their own... only they forgot their motors. Kevin, Amy, and David are peddling their road bikes from Vancouver, BC to San Fransisco, CA. It will be quite a feat, and you can follow their progress and stories on their blog: jakkd.info.
We met up at a little county park near Longview, WA where they had prepared an awesome lunch for us all to enjoy. We swapped stories and experiences. I really have to give them props for riding the coast. Alex and I tried to hold in the truth, on our way up we had passed a lot of peddlers looking ragged walking their bikes up the treacherous hills.
They look happy now. I am interested to see the post ride pictures :).
Back on the road, we soon arrived in Centralia, WA about an hour south of Seattle with the trip odometer reading 9673 miles. Alex stayed here with a friend while I went on to the Seattle airport to fly out for a wedding of two of my good friends in Minneapolis. Alex enjoyed a few days of rest and relaxation while I enjoyed seeing friends at the wedding. Two days and I was back and we hit the road making our final turn east.

That beard is looking GOOD!
I know, right? Too bad my friend Benj made me trim it for his wedding. Don't worry though, it's making a ferocious comeback.
