We made it. On exactly the day that we intended (10th August)Nice to meet you on our epic trip.

Thanks, Scott. Yeah it was pretty bizarre that's for sure. Getting old sucks, eh!? ;-)

I’m sorry for you and for us, but it’s obviously the wise thing to do. I had a scare like this of my own a few years back and was sure I’d suffered a torn retina somehow, but an exam turned up no concerns and the condition cleared on its own fairly quickly. Good luck!

Thanks, Keith. I have gotten sensible in my old age, which sucks a bit but is probably for the best ;-).

Safe travels!

Hi Kathleen,

Thanks. I think I am going to close out this journal, maybe it's the journal that's bad luck ;-). But that doesn't mean I can't make another attempt at some point. :-)

Karen

Hi Mike,

Thanks. I agree. In my younger days I might have kept going but I am smarter now ;-)

Karen

Bummer, but any health related matter must be taken seriously, especially eye sight.
I look forward to your next ride.

Sounds like the best plan. That Yellowstone closure is crazy, and it just wouldn’t be worth seeing right now. I look forward to you restarting this journal again. Third time’s a charm they say.

Sorry to hear you're pulling the plug but it does seem the best and most sensible alternative. The Yellowstone thing just reinforces the idea.

Hi Karen,
The flashes have almost completely gone away. The floaters remain but I had lots of floaters before the happened and they don’t bother me much.
Sorry that you are going home but better safe than sorry.

Hi Genny,

Are you saying your floaters went away?

This Canadian had to do a web search.

I’m starting to feel more open about that move Oregon’s border idea.

I love that stained glass window with the church in the background and a bike on the path leading up to the church! It says a lot about the welcome cyclists get there, doesn’t it?

I am more interested in the Move Oregon's border sign. It reminds me of events happening in Europe atm!
