Will We Make It?: Crossing the Not-quite-as-mighty-as-I-had-imagined Mississippi
http://findrich.blogspot.com/2007/06/crossing-not-quite-as-mighty-as-i-had.html
Will We Make It? Thursday, June 21, 2007. Crossing the Not-quite-as-mighty-as-I-had-imagined Mississippi. We left Illinois today. With a renewed vigor. Jacob had a new bike, mine was adjusted to my body a little better than before, and we were all full of energy from a day's break. It almost felt like our first day of riding again.considering we're now in the traditionally defined "west," as in west of the Mississippi. Got a little more rolly. Not usually more than a 5 minutes at the most of grinding bef...

Will We Make It?: July 2007
http://findrich.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Will We Make It? Thursday, July 12, 2007. Rising Out of Nowhere, Wyoming. One of our first views of the Teton. Mt Moran to the Right looking from Jackson Lake. The Pinnacles (I think). A small pond at the top of Togawotee. Pass where we ate lunch. Another of our first views of the Tetons. The sun shining on Grand Teton. My first Grizzly sighting ever, and hopefully my last! Oh yeah, that's probably a good idea. So we booked it down the road, and everything turned out fine. In a few days. But for now,...

Partyin across the country: Winding Down
http://transamjacob.blogspot.com/2007/08/winding-down.html
Partyin across the country. Sunday, August 5, 2007. So Rob and I have made it to Portland and are both fairly impressed. The city is incredibly large but it has a really hip vibe to it. Rob's friend was kind enough to let us throw our things in her apt while we peruse around town. I'm thinkin. Who offered us a place to stay and we ended up staying awake for far too long considering our bus ride to P ortalnd. Can't wait to see everyone. August 7, 2007 at 3:45 PM. January 1, 2008 at 6:54 PM.

Partyin across the country: Headwinds and Grizzly Bears
http://transamjacob.blogspot.com/2007/07/wyoming-has-proved-to-be-very-windy.html
Partyin across the country. Thursday, July 12, 2007. Headwinds and Grizzly Bears. Wyoming has proved to be a very windy state as I had just flown. Down into the valley and was met with winds comparable to those on top of Grandfather Mtn. I could see the horizon about 20 miles away and I was cranking incredibly hard on completely flat terrain to push 5-7 mph. Not to mention a storm was blowing in directly overhead but I also encountered some Eastbounders. At a gas station in Muddy Gap, WY, I couldn't.

Partyin across the country: Cruisin' Round the Breadbasket
http://transamjacob.blogspot.com/2007/06/cruisin-round-breadbasket.html
Partyin across the country. Thursday, June 28, 2007. Cruisin' Round the Breadbasket. I’m interested to see how things will pan out over the course of our journey. We’ve also been riding with our friend Tom that we met at the Houston Hotel in Missouri. He was a lawyer from D.C. and is quite a character. I think he likes hanging out with us because of our wild uninhibited nature and it reminds him of when he was in college. I finally got caught up on your blog and it's awesome!

Partyin across the country: Tappin the Rockies
http://transamjacob.blogspot.com/2007/06/tappin-rockies.html
Partyin across the country. Saturday, June 30, 2007. Anyways, we had the opportunity to stay with a very kind lady named Gillian who went about a mile a minute but seemed to go out of her way to make sure we were comfortable or had everything we needed. Pink mullet aside, she worked as a prison guard in Ordway, CO and was a joy to chat with. June 30, 2007 at 8:16 PM. July 5, 2007 at 8:22 AM. That Rob is a slave driver. July 8, 2007 at 5:25 PM.

Partyin across the country. Saturday, July 28, 2007. I Can Smell the Ocean. Hey everybody sorry for the lack of posts. We've been really cranking and I haven't. Really had the time to sit at a computer and collect my thoughts. So we're in Sisters, Oregon and we only have about a week left before we hit the coast. Things are getting really exciting and we're all getting a little bit antsy to get there. We stayed in Bend last night which was a really incredible town. Rob is thinking. We've met some great p...

Partyin across the country: We Made It
http://transamjacob.blogspot.com/2007/08/we-made-it.html
Partyin across the country. Friday, August 3, 2007. Officially ended our trip yet, we did however, reach the pacific ocean. It was a glorious time on the beach with raging 60 mph gusts and being sand blasted in the face. Besides that it was cool to see the ocean for the first time. We all drank a bottle of champagne behind a wind barrier made of driftwood to celebrate. We then decided to head back to Florence. And get a motel room for showers. Every orifice. So Rob and I are here in Tillamook.
