Whereabouts In America: Nevada's Terrain and the Difficulties Therein: That is, How Not to Die
http://whereaboutsinamerica.blogspot.com/2009/08/nevadas-terrain-and-difficulties.html
Thursday, August 13. Nevada's Terrain and the Difficulties Therein: That is, How Not to Die. As I think I have said, Nevada's riding terrain was mountain range, followed by valley, followed by mountain range followed by valley. Like the back of my shampoo bottle: Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Using the knowledge that I had gained in the 3000 miles I had just traveled and my grade school knowledge of deserts (thanks Mrs. Callahan! I decided I would carry more water than usual. Now don't get me wrong, I wasn't fa...

Whereabouts In America: The Lasts: Our Final Days (or was it Daze?)
http://whereaboutsinamerica.blogspot.com/2009/08/lasts-our-final-days-or-was-it-daze.html
Friday, August 21. The Lasts: Our Final Days (or was it Daze? Did I mention Kevin caught up midway through Nevada? After a breezy 25 miles, we made it to the California boarder. A little less than significant, we broke to take pictures and cherish the moment of our arrival to the final state. Triumph at the final summit. We retired in their back garden, and though it took a while for me to fall asleep, it wasn't long before I was waking to the sight of sun above my head. The Last Day was upon us. Summer ...

Whereabouts In America: Returning Home
http://whereaboutsinamerica.blogspot.com/2009/09/returning-home.html
Wednesday, September 2. Well, I was about to attempt to summon the picture, but my mother beat me to it. Looking back to what I had already posted, as to avoid repeating myself, I noticed that my mother (within the last 20 minutes) shared the image of my return home:. It took me 2 months (June 3rd - August 2nd). 4073 miles of riding. I rode solo until mid-Missouri. Missouri was my least favorite state. Colorado and Utah were favorite states (scenicly speaking - is that even a word? One thing I discovered...

Whereabouts In America: Leaving Colorado
http://whereaboutsinamerica.blogspot.com/2009/07/leaving-colorado.html
Sunday, July 26. My final full day in Colorado was quite an event. I spent the morning going up over Lizzard Head Pass, from Telluride (where I left off on this journey), and after a long downhill (we're talking miles here! I made it into Dolores, CO. Before arriving, I was told Dolores had an excellent brewery that I had to check out, if anything for their Calzones, and seeing that I had a long day ahead of me the next day, I didn't mind calling it an early day in Dolores.

Whereabouts In America: Then it happened: The Ocean
http://whereaboutsinamerica.blogspot.com/2009/08/then-it-happened-ocean.html
Friday, August 21. Then it happened: The Ocean. I really don't remember a whole lot about the last day's ride, as the events which followed after arriving to the Pacific are more memorable. One thing I do remember however, is that everything seemed to be against us. Well, that and the fact that I didn't care. I had one thing on my mind: San Franfreakincisco. So then there was that. But I could not be stopped. My questions came out in a flood. I started today. Riding to New York City," she said excite...

Whereabouts In America: July 2009
http://whereaboutsinamerica.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 30. New Friends and Another State Under the Belt. We headed out into the desert heat, not sure what to expect and as Milford got further and further away, the clouds became darker and darker. Not quite what we had expected when plannign for desert weather, but the rain that quickly followed was preferred over the extreme temperatures we had thought we'd face. Then again, the lightning was a bit much (we even saw it hit a mountain and start a fire). After watching the library security tapes...
