| O!Vegasm pop up meal at Red & Black was out of this world and fueled my day |
 |
| stretching the back out for the big ride across state lines |
 |
| Beadle bring the beast from the backyard |
For the past two years I've had dreams of traveling far and wide on my bicycle. As I've continued to not do so, I've set my sights a bit lower. And was hoping to just cross at least one state line this year. Beadle called with just such an opportunity. Round trip for me was about 40 miles. Not much if any elevation gain, but we did cross a state line!
 |
| Beadle and Jen ready to shove off |
 |
| north on Williams |
 |
| the other day it was arugula, today it was bread in the freebox on Rosa Parks |
 |
| a long ride ahead |
 |
| approaching the Columbia - parallel to I-5 now |
 |
| checkin the rear view mirror |
 |
| Seattle only 168 miles, Hooters next exit |
 |
| looking up river on the Columbia - crossing one hell of a bridge |
 |
| Vancouver, WASHINGTON |
 |
| over the tracks and out into the sticks |
 |
| saw a lone coyote near this tree |
 |
| that is our destination, Vancouver Lake |
 |
| Beadle won Farkle |
 |
| all sorts of snacks |
 |
| I brought and devoured one of Beadle's backyard tomatoes |
 |
| riding back through Vancouver, we could see the bridge back home |
 |
| bicycle advocacy at its finest in Vancouver! |
 |
| almost on it |
 |
| birds in frame - another bridge in the background - this time looking down river |
 |
| OR S/L WA - that's the state line sign in the middle of the river |
 |
| Oregon greets us |
 |
| and suddenly we're back in Portland |
with the bridges behind us, I parted ways with Beadle and Jen to venture off on my own in search of Curt & Natalie and all their cats........ coming up next.....
