Day 20

Final location: HOME!; Final odometer 24779; Miles total: 8454.1

A leisurely start to the day and was on the road by 8:30. Traffic was light, weather was great and I was home by 12:30.


This is how they found me when they came out to see what was taking so long to come inside.

Thanks to all the folks who supported me, fed me and/or put me up for the night. Thanks also to Lisa (RubberGator) and team for putting on a fine gettogether in Coos Bay, OR. This was a great trip and I got to see a lot of the USA and Canada, most of which I had never seen before.

And thanks for taking the time to read this, my first, blog!

Getting home to family.

Cold ride up the coast of California and Oregon into Coos Bay.
Missing some sights just due to lack of time.

There is so much to see on this continent. Beauty is everywhere! Just get out and go - you will find it.
