In an effort to exercise my freedom and exorcise my demons, I am walking approximately 760 miles from my home in Gardnerville NV to Seattle WA.

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. |

Days 40 thru 45, Dexter Lake to Alsea, OR
Not too many pics of my walk in this post. I'm staying with my friend Anji, who lives in Alsea Oregon. Taking a little break from the walk. We went out to the coast on Saturday. The Oregon coast is one of the most visually awesome places in the world. Rugged, tough, and beautiful. Enjoy!

Days 38 and 39, Oakridge to Dexter
Ok, how many days have I been in Oregon, part of the great Pacific Northwest, and STILL no coffee house! Went to a diner and grabbed an omelette, and there was a cool bar next door, ran by Greg and Shannon. I ended up hanging out there for a few hours and had a few beers. It was jam night. A bunch of locals jamming out old blues and classic rock songs. I had an awesome time! Big shout-out to the bartender Ashley for being way cool!

Also met a bunch of cool cats next to my campground this morning. They're reggae musicians on tour. Their next stop is in Sacramento.

Days 29 thru 33
So far in oregon I haven't been doing a very good job at taking photos. There's been lots of nice scenery, but I'm kinda bored with scenery for the moment. Hopefully that'll remedy itself. I also need to make sure to take more pictures of the people I meet. Speaking of which, I met a fellow this morning that's biking from San Francisco to Alaska! http://dmandave.blogspot.com.
Some pics, and a couple vids near the end. Enjoy!

Days 27 and 28, into Oregon!
Well, I'm finally in Oregon! Feels like it took too long to get here. I hate to think about how it'll feel to get through this whole state! Not many pictures to share, 'n they're mostly of the sunrise from when I left the Ellis Motel. Sorry for the repeat images, but I can't really decide which ones I like best. Three videos, one of breakfast, the other two of me complaining, as usual. Enjoy!
