OP doesn't count as a reply...Oh and FYP.
Clearly. I wanted to crush your spirits until someone pointed out the flaw in my post.Unfortunately you caught it first.I am however slightly amused by you thinking I was serious, so I still got a little joy out of it.

Nice pics. I did this in 1986, east to west. Almost all of my pictures are slides, and I still haven't scanned them to digital.I also have a pic from Hoosier Pass.When did you do this?

Spring of '91. I want to do it again with my kid when he gets a little older. I better start training now.*L*T*p.s. Scan those suckers! I want to see them.

A spare, some patches, spokes, a full toolbag, and a thumb for when it was beyond roadside repairable. Just outside Pittsburgh, Kansas, I had my rear wheel disintegrate and had to hitch a ride into town. The guy at the shop dropped everything he was working on and built me a wheel on the spot. The kindness of strangers was one off the most amazing things I discovered on this trip.*L*T*

Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white endges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not to be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.

Yea, I often dream of doing it again, but I'll probably never be in good enough shape. I may do it on a motorcycle someday. i'll let you know when I get them scanned. I've been wanting to get a new scanner, so maybe this will make me do it.

Basically the same repair equipment here. We had four people in our group, so we shared the load. I missed 30 miles of the trip when my freewheel broke, causing my bike to be unable to coast. It didn't take long for my derailer to get snapped in half, so I had to get a ride to the next town. Otherwise, I started with my back tire in the Atlantic and finished with my front tire in the Pacific.What L*T* said about the kindness of strangers cannot be emphasized enough. I have story after story of ordinary people going out of their way to help us.

Played Cypress Pointe golf course. I am pretty sure I will be the only guy on here to do that. Even BG can't get on there....
Haven't played there, have a buddy with a hook up, but only in the winter and who wants to leave Palm Springs to go golfing in the winter in Monterey?Although I do play for 'free' at 150 golf courses listed here: Click on the locations tab on the leftBy free I mean after my membership dues and only twice per month
