It's 10:32 pm pm in Astoria, Oregon. There are large, dark clouds rolling in from the ocean and the town is much colder than we anticipated. We are staying with our friend Cassandra; we called her shortly before we left Portland. We drove a car that we borrowed at the last minute. That's the way this trip is going. Off the cuff.
Tomorrow we're waking up, packing up our bikes, having toast with Elizabeth (Silas' girlfriend who is seeing us off), and then we ride. East. Our goal for the day is 45 miles to Clatskanie (where the town profession is skinning cats).
Our first shout out goes to Jimmy (Amanda's friend from college). He lives in a tiny studio in downtown Portland and provided pre-trip hospitality. 4 people, 3 bikes, 2 nights, 1 dog, no uncluttered space.
For those of you who want to send care packages full of things to eat or letters, we will be checking the post office in Walla Walla, Washington. Write this for an address.
Postmaster, please hold for
Amanda St Ivany and/or Silas Allard
Walla Walla, WA 99362
