Verdance! (seventy)

104 miles to Hood River, Oregon.

I’m not sure what else to say; today was beautiful and enjoyable, perfect for my last long day. I’m camped now along the Columbia River in view of the hood river bridge thinking about what if might be like to be ‘done’.

I want to say this, however: I’ll never be done. Bicycle is my mode of transportation, and though I’ll likely never travel this many miles again, I’ll always ride. I still have to get to the coast to officially end my trek, and I’ll do that early next week. And I’m going to head up to Seattle very soon.

There is power and freedom in this mode of conveyance. If you can find that, and recognize it, you will be better for it.

But I must sleep, for I have a long and exciting day tomorrow. I’ll have much more to say then.
