Hello one and all. First I would like to apologize deeply for the tardiness of this final post. It is in part because I have been busy, part because I have been slacking and in part because I have just been having trouble reflecting on all that has happened through out the trip. However I will now try to sum up some of the ideas and themes that have, at least in part, come to me since the end (or the beginning.)
As I say to everybody our ride across the country was amazing. Every day was a new journey, always something or someone different. We moved at a slow pace and yet scenes could change in the blink of an eye. Oregon changes from moist heavy greens into the pines and plains of the lowland deserts. Virginia varies from mountains as far as the eye can see to suburbs and civilization stretching across the land.
