Another 1,000 miles down

Just before crossing the bridge from Astoria, Oregon to Ilwaco, Washington my odometer added another row of digits. I’m now over 10,000 miles for the year and 8,000 for the trip. The last thousand miles took me from Half Moon Bay up the coast of California and Oregon along some of the most beautiful roads I’ve ever traveled. From lush coastal redwood forests, the tallest tress on earth, to sandy beaches, to rocky hills, to secluded townships, the ride from the metropolitan San Francisco to the coastal wilderness will stay with me for a long time to come.
