a few more hours wandering around,

Checked out the Seattle Art Museum sculpture park

(there's a pair of these at Storm King, by the way)

DR. Rock · 10-25-2009, 10:13 PM

with a visit to REI, and a cuppa joe.

It was a great way to ease ourselves back into polite society.

to offer to schlep us all the way back down to the airport even though it was totally in the wrong direction from her home.

Mount Rainier seemed to float above the earth:

We said our good-byes, and see-ya-laters...

but it was still three and a half hours before boarding.

Always a treat to follow your continuing adventure.

Let me know if I can assist with some fun GPS tracks through southern BC for Mobius V.

Funny you should mention that... 'cause at the airport, we were already starting to think about Mobius-V... and we saw a sign:

So I may just take you up on that offer.

We found a bar/restaurant, and spent some time eating, drinking, looking at tiny photos on the camera screens, recounting our adventure, and debriefing

:

Finally, our flight left... non-stop this time.

DR. Rock · 10-25-2009, 11:23 PM

in NYC, just like when we had left,

we made our way up a deserted Broadway the last two blocks on foot since the cabbie wouldn't drop us off north of Houston since it was in a different "zone" from the airport.

waiting outside our door was a package... Hey Roy... I have your case cover, and we owe you a new stator.

it was good to be home.

Guys, this trip has been a morning staple for me for quite some time. I've really enjoyed going along for the ride, watching the growth that has happened in both of you and also seeing the way you two communicate. It's fantastic.

Let me be the second to offer services in routing through southern BC. There's a ton to be experienced, with more than a few vistas along the way. Also, if you haven't already, www.dualsportbc.com is an excellent resource for finding routes through BC. We can help you out.

Yeah, good to be home in the land of lazy bastard rip-off artists. Hope you saved the receipt and that passenger information tag they handed you on line at the airport. I'll be happy to help you make a complaint...
