He's on the west side of the Cascades just east of Blue River, OR heading toward McKenzie Pass. "If this trip was any better I couldn't stand it." Clear skies, 80 degree temperatures and the wind at his back! Feeling a bit lonely the first day, wondering what he was doing, thousands of miles from home, a whole continent ahead to bike across. Now he's flying high in the Cascades, high in his mind, high on the journey itself. He's hoping to get to a library so he can write an email that I'll post on this site. Also, a roll of film is going into the mail today - I'll post them here as soon as I get them developed.</div> <div> Michael</div> <bR> <div> To read an overview of the trip go to the <A HREF="id2.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Intro"><U>Intro</U></A> page.</div> <bR> <div> (To see more of what FootHills Publishing does, <A HREF="http://www.foothillspublishing.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.foothillspublishing.com"><U>click here</U></A>.)</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </BODY>
