This trip was longer and... [more]

Seattle is ~75 miles away and I should be there tonight. As the day rolls on, I know I’m getting close to Puget Sound by the sheer number of towns... [more]
Day 75 (6/1): Montesano, WA

When I cross the Columbia via the giant, 4-mile-long Astoria-Megler bridge, Washington welcomes me with the rainiest day of the trip. Not a dry minute today! Luckily Highway 101 is... [more]

Rain drums on my tent through the night. It’s warm, dry, and incredibly cozy inside — I’ve taken care to pitch the tent perfectly — and I wake up fully... [more]
Day 73: Cape Lookout

It’s a brand new day and my sadness about the RVs is gradually dulling, but the 101 continues to disappoint. Now I see the ocean just 5% of the time.... [more]

Posted: Tue, Aug 3, 2010 @ 21:33 by Maksim Kalashnikov
Finally I’m on the world-famous Pacific Coast Highway (the 101)! Many tout it as America’s most beautiful drive. I’ve dreamed of cycling it for years; even hung a magazine photo... [more]
Day 71: The Pacific!

I’m back to civilization, with all its traffic and non-scenic scenery, but it feels nice: I don’t have to worry about water and food for a change. I’m down to... [more]
Day 70 (5/27). The incredibly scenic West Cascades
Posted: Fri, Jul 30, 2010 @ 18:22 by Maksim Kalashnikov
I can’t believe I’m already past the crest of the Cascades and it’s now mostly downhill between here and the Pacific! When studying maps before the tour, I saw that... [more]

Day 69: the crossing of the Cascades
Posted: Sat, Jul 24, 2010 @ 17:00 by Maksim Kalashnikov
I’ve decided to skip Crater Lake Nat’l Park. It’s too high up and people tell me the roads are still closed due to snow. I’ll cycle around it and cross... [more]
