4 days left and being so near to a long sought goal brings some interesting introspection. I am ready for the bike part to be over. It has been long and usually cold days with a lot of mileage. I have only taken two days off in 6 weeks. I will miss the grandeur and splendor of this fabulous country that we are blessed to live in. I will miss the interactions with “trail angels” and most of all I will truly miss the daily hobo life. It is very liberating in many ways. I have also enjoyed sharing with everyone!!  Will keep you updated on the last few days and the big finish!!
