Well done! Congratulations and thanks for letting us follow along.

Scary pads picture. Happy you had such a great day despite the brakes. Wow, getting close to the border already. What a great ride.

Also, must try that sandwich combo.

Congrats on completing a great ride! PBJ + pickle looks strangely delicious.

Sorry Pete but that sandwich looks almost illegal -- I may have to report you to the authorities :-)

That was a tough day -cold AND wet. Very glad you had the right layers.

Orange mocha sounds new and delicious. Dude, didn't we talk about your competitiveness before the trip. Here's a new mantra when the desire to overtake comes over you: ouch-knees-can't-walk; repeat.

Rough, with that wind!

Palm trees, finally feels like arriving in Southern California. Love the video.

Now, that is a happy pastry face!

Raccoons are scary, probably made even scarier by those magic cookie bars...

Congratulations to Blue and Giulia!

Waymo? Way no! Put me on a bike instead.

Wish I was in San Francisco.
Hurray for Blue & Giulia!

Monster riding day! Way to go Pete...

Beautiful even on a grey day

The trees are amazing. Are the exteriors charred from recent fires?

Those trees are giants! Gorgeous trunks.

Beautiful!

Gorgeous! Brings back great memories of driving through there in 2002. Enjoy the nature baths!

Also love the pic of the pelicans

That photo with the light streaming through the trees definitely enhances the cathedral atmosphere.

Hubba-hubba!

Apatosaurus. Tastes like chicken.

The Primeval showdown picture of Pam and dinosaur is epic. Kudos to Barry!

Good-looking po-boy!

Hi Pete,

What you did a couple of days back (Tillamook Cheese factory) is where we hung out a couple of years back (I think it was Jul 2023) when we spent 3 nights on the Oregon coast just south of Canon Beach and visited some of the parks/locations you mentioned (by car)!

really cool

Love tying the tours together like that. It was so sick to be able to meet you in Oregon at the end of the trans am!

Florence! Last time I was there I think I was delirious. You folks are some tough hombres y mujeres to be doing this in fall. Looks pretty effing cold & drizzly in some of these pictures.

That bridge, by the way, was hardcore.

Oh, I was confused by the flashing lights (not the rear blinkies) you described WRT the tunnel previously. This clears it up. So glad that there are built-in warnings so you can tell cars to watch out!

Those cheese blocks look construction worthy.

Think that's Brices's fav kind of ice cream. Always has it in the freezer. Will have to tell him. The whales are so cool!

You look like you are having a blast!

mply gorgeous! And yes, Daisy and I want that bike.

Those seals look pretty adorable! So far this trip sounds more fun than Than's trans-am...

Good action shots of the tent chase

What? Not the patented Pete spaghetti?

Love the night snap

17 years later, does it look the same or are you on a different route?

Sounds like a congenial bunch!

I tried to comment before, but it did not work - trying again!

Pictures look great and hope you have good weather the entire time...

Looks like genial group!

Looks like the camp was in a pretty exposed spot. Not windy?

That is an amazing sunset!

Gorgeous sunset! Glad your knee is holding up.

So sorry to hear you messed up your knee just before the ride. Did not know that. Hope it goes ok.

Haven't we seen this before?

Looks like you are off on a good start, tent poles and all. Enjoy
