Seattle to Tierra del Fuego by bicycle. January 14th, 2008. I was fortunate to be able to stay with and get to know a family friend and her roommate in Long Beach.

Seattle to Tierra del Fuego by bicycle. The rest of Oregon. December 17th, 2007. After waiting out the storm in Coos Bay, Oregon, I continued down the coast. The next few days proved treacherous: road debris, downed power lines, 20mph headwinds, and the thickest fog I’ve ever seen. Occasionally I was able to steal a glimpse of the coast when the fog would yield. Cycling the Oregon coast was really quite fun. With so many opportunities to get water, food, lodging, and camping, it made things very easy.
