I’m less than a week away from the Mexican border, which is a really odd feeling, since I have spent most of the ride thinking of San Diego as being way off in the future. Now it’s easily within four or five day’s ride. I couldn’t have made it this far without help from a great many of you, and I’m profoundly grateful. Thanks to all of you, the Pacific Coast Route is within reach.
We’re in a campground in Big Sur, which means I finally left Monterey and started riding south again. Yesterday was an easy ride, along one of the most beautiful coasts in the world. Unfortunately, most of the time it was shrouded in mist, and that mist is cold. What I did see was very beautiful, and of course the photos are coming.
Some people have asked for status of the ride and funds to keep the ride going. The support from you guys has been great, and I have gone from the verge of having to quit, to being assured of finishing the Pacific Coast Route. My best estimate is that I can make it to Phoenix with what has been donated so far. That’s huge, and I thank you for it, but it’s only about 40% of the entire ride. When I get to San Diego, I’ll have to evaluate the situation and decided whether to attempt a crossing. Between you and me, I think it will work out just fine. Thanks for all the support and thanks for reading!
