I died of dysentery.
Just kidding. Baker City is an historic town on the Oregon Trail and I just can't stop thinking about playing that game on the Apple IIe when I was a kid.
As some readers have probably noticed, I have been sporadic with this blog lately. It has been harder to write daily posts these days due to: having no cell service; being too tired at the end of the day; or being more interested in having new experiences than writing about them. The good news is I have sat in the Baker City library for most of today catching up so that my future posts will be real-ish time as finish out my trip within the next week. There is just 417 miles from here to the coast! However, there are 5 mountain passes to deal with along the way.
I have been riding with Steve, a super fit and adventurous 62 year old from Minnesota who has been involved with parks and rec and a number of nature conservation initiatives.

Oh so close. Thanks for the vicarious ride across the nation.
ReplyDeletefirst line is fucking brilliant. i was just talking about "lemonade stand," another of those old skool gems. write only if it pleases you, otherwise have a great time reaching the coast! may the force be with you.
ReplyDeletei'm glad you are almost at your goal, and also taking the time to still post updates. i've read them all! such a great adventure. (maybe when you get back you'll want to build them out in a diary with more pictures and detail in the stories?)
ReplyDeletekeep going, rvk, you're almost home! (you're riding back to the e.v. right?)
