The blizzards of February prompted me to buy a one-way ticket to the West Coast. Though before heading for the warmer climate further south, I had an invitation to the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. It was a great time to reconnect with my college roommates and enjoy some of the spectacle that comes along with national pride at sporting events. I even ate caribou for the first time.
Moving south, I stopped off in Seattle and (quickly) in Oregon to reconnect with friends, see the Experience Music Project, and visit mechanics. I spent my 26th birthday in beautiful Napa, California and San Francisco with some of my favorite people before hitting the road south on my bike.
