Same Goal, Different Means...
This is Michael Kilpatrick. He's also travelling the 48 states, but he's doing it the rough way - by bike. After serving in both the army and the navy, Michael developed a love for travel and decided to see every bit of this country, all from the seat of his recumbant bike (complete with windshield). We've got to hand it to him, his trip makes ours look like a trip to the 7-11.
Daily Distance: 50-60 mi
Days to Date: 204
Distance to Date: 10,830 mi
Final Goal: USA on $1 a Day

External Beauty, Internal Discomfort
March 7 -
The photos we've chosen really show you what we've seen as we've glided along Highway One. This visual feast for the eyes was damped only by the discomfort caused by the narrow winding roads of the coast.
Who would have guessed that America tailored its coastal roads after the libres in Mexico?
As the signs says, there's no going back. We wouldn't have it any other way, queasiness and all.
Overwhelmed by the beauty of it all...

 Today's Weather:
So windy that Mel was almost blown into the ocean
| Sleeping Quarters |
Westland Union S.P.
 
Site closest to the ocean. We see the storm clouds rolling in, but we're ignoring them. We've avoided rain so far in this tent (that's tent #3) and so we have no idea what may happen should we get hit by a spring storm so close to sea...
Cost: $7.00
