Walking up the steps along the boardwalk before seeing the ocean was indescribable--complete butterflies in the stomach--what are we doing??
The back wheels go in the Atlantic Ocean, and the front wheels will go in the Pacific Ocean...it seems a long way away.
We are westward bound! With no words of wisdom to share with each other, both of us are at a loss for words but not a loss for smiles.
Our energetic and faithful send-off crew: Frank, Judy, Carrie and Scott.Further down the road, in Concord:
In downtown Concord, we met up with Chris, Lauren, Katie, Timmy and Jeffrey. Chris rode with us for awhile and regaled us with close bike encounters with flying deer. All I can say is that I hope we don't encounter four-legged wildlife careening through the air towards our heads!We were treated to a guitar concert at a cafe for lunch, and the artist Stuart Ferguson sang us a "biking across the country song". In the words of Janis who can say it much better than I, "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose..."
Cheers to freedom on the open road.

Deb and I are exited as you begin your adventure across the country. I’m not sure where your route is going to take you. However, I imagine you are in for a great time. Just remember, if you end up traversing across Kentucky, if you hear banjo music, peddle faster!!!

I love Crane's! I have to say, it is a perfect sendoff!
