No regrets

After the moving company picked up our boxes, we began readying our bicycles. Just days away from the start of our Honeymoon — 14 months after we were married, but hey, who’s counting.

We did not have the ‘luxury” nor the wish for a 10-day, all-expenses paid Hawaiian honeymoon.

But we (me more than Cheryl) knew we’d regret not doing a cross-state (and even International, into Victoria, British Columbia) bicycle ‘honeymoon’.

We were cash-poor, yet time-rich.

So we took 2.5 weeks, and $200 cash, to live out an incredible dream to have the adventure of our young lifetime.

Way back in the day

Taking risks is risky. So is playing it safe. Cheryl and me island hopping during our 600-mile cross-Washington State honeymoon.

Way back in the day we only had one car.

We parked our car and threw our bicycles in the back of a Professor’s pickup truck and hitched a 600-mile ride across Washington State.

Then we rode our bicycles back home to Pullman.

If Rafiki wasn’t my favorite Disney character, Mougli would be the fav. A boy at home in the wild.
