Oh, I'd say that was a good size hill you climbed...

Nice hand-made brim to her helmet. :)

Yes, Mile 0 is hard to find! A couple friends of mine biked from Pittsburgh to DC and wanted to see/touch Mile 0. I used my phone's GPS and it led us there -- it's located in an odd area you wouldn't expect.

Thanks Fancy Nancy! At least I didn’t have to hire a locus tenets!

Thanks Ed! Sorry we missed each other in western Washington.

Thanks Steverino!

Thanks Julie! I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. It would’ve been even better if I had a riding partner like you!

Sorry you didn’t see any wildlife here, but thanks for reminding me of the time when a family of otters swam in on the high tide and lumbered across the bike path right in front of me: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/austintoalbuquerque/the-skagit-delta/#21967_c1z8fleoqxewowm6o97hyi71iy8.

Oh, and congratulations on making it home. Epic journey!

Well done Sandy! People that live their dream are truly blessed!

Congratulations, Sandy! You made it home 4 days before I caught up with your journal. It's August 17 today. I loved being with you through your journal on this epic journey! I am so happy that your dream came true. Although I am certain that the journey that you just completed has changed you in many ways, please don't stop 'being 8 years old' in your brain! Love you❤️

Like reaching the end of a riveting novel, I am loathe to turn the last page.

Is Sarah riding in Crocs?!

In the expanse of the west, you take the time to notice the smallest details. An orb weaver on Milkweed. All of this written in your memories of this adventure. ❤️

Three alien invaders facing the natural world.

Very dramatic lighting, plus the expanse of the setting. Beautiful.
