Warrenton to Warrenton

Two miles inland from the coast of Oregon, where I began my journey, is the town of Warrenton, Oregon. I had a photo taken in anticipation of having another photo-opt at the Warrenton, Virginia post office upon the completion of my trip.

On Friday, the final segment of my route will take me from the Skyline Drive, down Thornton Gap, into Sperryville and East on 211 into Warrenton. After lunch in Sperryville, I will most likely get to the Warrenton PO around 4:00 and then pedal over to Highland School to meet with Lise to catch a ride home. At some point in time, I will complete the coast to coast connection to the Eastern Shore.

See you Friday!!!!!

Gary, I cannot believe you have finished your trek across the US! It is definitely something you can look back on and know that you accomplished a HUGE thing here. I have been in awe of you since you decided to take this adventure on. You are an amazing person and never let anything get in your way when you set your mind to it. Pedal your way home and know there are many here waiting to see you. I will be there as soon as I can. You know I wouldn't miss it for the world. See you on Friday and WOW!!!!!
Love,
Diana

We will be out of town on Fri, but with you in spirit. My guess is the thought of Mr. Snyder snagging Brett Favre kept you going those last 500 miles. Sorry, dude, no cap room. Damn Jets.

TAH will feature your noble quest tomorrow! www.todaysaccheadlines.com

Ride safely. GP and Young A.T.

Hey Gary, great accomplishment! I cannot even begin to imagine the planning , dedication and shear determination that it took to make your trip such a success. Cathy and I enjoyed following your trip and we hope to visit with you and Lise soon to hear more tales of adventure that only you can tell.

Congratulations!
