We enjoyed a laid back morning at the hostel full of pool games and good laughs. We later explored a market containing a variety of international local vendors and satisfied our curiosities with a “shrub” drink (it’s okay—not what it sounds like) and delicious maple cookies. Growing hungrier by the minute, we bought lunch and […]
Today the Across America Trekkers logged 75 miles, starting in Pinehurst, Idaho, and ending in Saint Regis, Montana. Today marked not only a new state, but also a new time zone! They climbed the steep I-90 grade to Lookout Pass and got Oreo ice cream at the top (also the state line) to celebrate. Nice […]

Today we started from Wompatuck State Park, it wasn’t as difficult as we thought even though it was a 33+ mile day. It was awesome when people were kind and generous and let us use their hoses for water. It’s so cool when we stop and people tell us their stories about when they used […]

Today was our longest day with a 60 mile ride from Vancouver to Victoria. The morning was hard with a strong head wind but it was made better by a bald eagle sighting. After a long ferry ride we took a nice bike path to our hostel. We were delighted to see Harlan as we […]

The Samesun Hostel provided a luxurious breakfast of bagels and muffins, followed by the first modern laundry of the trip. After a relaxing morning we kickstarted our activities with a Greek lunch. After […]
