WE MADE IT!

On Tuesday, August 10th at 6:30 PM we arrived at the Pacific Ocean. Our ride took 72 days, we

went through 13 different states, rode over 4000 miles, consumed an estimated 50 pounds of Peanut Butter,

and raised $12,000 and counting towards the construction of clean water systems in three different villages.

Be on the look out for concluding thoughts from each of us as we arrive home and have time to process all

that has happened over the past two and a half months. We all plan to put our thoughts into words,

so you can expect a post from each of us. Matt will continue writing stories from the places we haven't talked much about, too. So don't stop paying attention yet.

Here are some more pictures to hold you over....

It turns out the water on the pacific ocean is freezing. We didn't quite go swimming.

A little taste of the Washington coast line.

This is a four mile long bridge that crosses the Columbia River right before it pours into the Pacific. One side of the bridge is Oregon, the other is Washington. One of the more incredible feets of engineering I have ever encountered. Pictures do not come close to capturing the size, height, or length of this thing.

To get up to the higher portion of the bridge one must climb a 200 feet or so up a circling ramp. Kind of felt like a roller coaster.
