"It would be pleasant to be able to say of my travels with Charley, "I went out to find the truth about my country and found it." And then it would be such a simple matter to set down my findings and lean back comfortably with a fine sense of having discovered truths and taught them to my readers. I wish it were that easy. But what I carried in my head and deeper in my perceptions was a barrel of worms. I discovered long ago in collecting and classifying marine animals that what I found was closely intermeshed with how I felt at the moment. External reality has a way of being not so external after all."

John Steinbeck
Travels With Charley


So,

Off I go, from Anacortes, Washington to Lubec, Maine.

Images of the Cascades




                                          Making the grade

                                      
                                          Making a splash



                                         Those are some hills!


                                         Tunnel vision

         
                                          Snow way


             
                                          Making a pass in the mountains

                                         You can bank on it

  1. The scenery and everything is nice, but I think your blog viewership would go way up if you were blasting space aliens with a laser death ray from your bike instead of parking it by the snowbank. Try that when you get to Idaho and we'll see if there's a spike in your website traffic.
