Jim Arrives at the Space Needle

Well, here it is finally. My last day. There's a lot I want to say and talk about, but I'm just not ready or capable. I'll probably make another post on here to talk about those things when I've had more time to reflect. In the meantime, please keep an eye on the Facebook page, as I will be making more updates on there, particularly about a presentation I plan on having in October in Sacramento, where I'll also be making an "official" announcement about what I plan on doing next. Before I begin with the pictures and video of my last day, I want to thank EVERYONE, all of you, that helped me on this trip. Whether you donated funds or hosted me or even just cheered me on, I can't thank you enough. Especially to my parents for sacrificing so much financially to make this possible. Anyway, on to the visuals. Enjoy!

I stayed with my old friend Caine and his family in Olympia before going to the Space needle. The night before I left I did a little photo shoot with them. There's a lot more of these pics from that, that I'll post on my other blog. It was awesome to see him after close to thirteen years!

Walkway to the foot ferry in Port Orchard

Days 55 thru 60

Not much to report on this post. I'm really tired and am in a lot of pain. Right now I am hanging out with my friend Cain in Olympia. Gonna chill here for a couple days then have him drop me off at one of the ferry terminals on Saturday morning for my final day. So yeah, I will be cheating a bit on my last day, but honestly, I don't give a shit because my body is just tore the fuck up. If anyone wants to give me shit for that, then go ahead and walk 15 to 20 miles a day nearly everyday for 45 to 60 consecutive days in a row, then you can come to me and call me a pussy. Until then, shut the fuck up. I'll be arriving at the Space Needle on Saturday the 18th, sometime in the late morning or early afternoon, if you want to meet me there. I'll be taking plenty of pics and video of the day and my arrival, as well as live, turn by turn, updates on the Facebook page. In the meantime, here's a few pics from the last week or so. Enjoy!

View from the top of Green Mountain, coming out of Woodland. This mountain was small and short, but extremely steep. Probably the steepest set of hilss I climbed the whole trip. Straight up, and straight down. I didn't really expect to run into something like this at this point of the trip. It pissed me off and really fucked up my whole day. I had planned on doing twenty miles, but could only manage about 12 miles because of this stupid fucking hill.

Day 54 Road Closed

Possibly the shortest blog post in Jimbo history. Enjoy!

Vancouver, WA. Not the most attractive portion of this town...

My very very first glimpse of Mt. St Helens.

Days 50 thru 53 Salem to Vancouver

Not too many pics in this one. But there is a cool video of me crossing into Washington! The sunset ones are from the night I left Eugene. The rest were taken while leaving Portland. Enjoy!

Days 46 thru 49, Oregon Coast to Monmouth OR

More pics from the coast and on to this morning. It was great hanging out with my friend Anji and taking a break, but it's nice to be back on the road again. I really just want to push through the last leg of this walk as quick as I can. I'm hoping to arrive at the Space Needle on Saturday the 18th. Sunday would be fine, too. Oh, and by the way, my friend Anji is a bad ass artist of many mediums including tattoos, rock and bone sculpture, and painting http://resonanteye.net/. Now for some pictures, Enjoy!

These didn't really come out like I was hoping, but they're still kinda cool anyway. Trying to learn how to shoot into the light.
