Southern Exposure

After plenty of last minute tasks with a blown fuse thrown in for good measure, we finally made our departure this afternoon. It’s been a long time coming after all the talk and all the planning, but it felt good to finally lock the door and get on the bikes.

It was a typical November day in Seattle, 50s with a very light rain. Since we left at such a late time, we have only made it to Woodburn, OR, just over 200 miles. We’re past the Portland commute traffic, so tomorrow morning’s departure should be easy.

It hasn’t really sunk in yet how many more miles are ahead of us, but the journey has begun.
