Favorite Parts of the Trip:

SH: My favorite moments of the trip comes to me in bits at a time. If I see, hear, smell, certain cues, I get a rush of memories from the trip. But I do think the best part was meeting all the different individuals as rode down PC.

J: Meeting all the new people who were traveling with us. From Victoria & Evadne to Portlan, Roberto, Nick, Jen, Kris, Kyle, Dave, Yves, and Linda.

Haystack Rock

What would you do differently?:

SH: I do regret not getting more video footage of the ride. Also, I’d want to use a better camera to capture the moments.

J: Ride the Washington coast and visit Seattle and Portland. I would spend more time exploring the towns that looked fascinating, like Ferndale.

Additional things to add:

SH: Thinking back, I wish I would have explored a little bit more around our camp areas and down the coast. Sometimes I felt like I was just riding from point A to point B. Next time, I hope we can slow down a little bit and enjoy the ride.

J: None.
