July 18 & 19
If you're curious, our lucky streak continued. After 4 miles we were picked up by Mike and Karen Higgins in one of their two red Mazda RX7's. These people put us up, loaned us a car, shared their wine, invited us to help create wonderful feasts in the kitchen, gave us rides at 3:30 am, and so contributed immeasurably to the end of this trip and the beginning of the next one. 

Our oath was signed at Hyatt Lake Resort. Pete & I, if we're still among the living, will walk from California to Canada starting July 19th, 2019, my 46th birthday. 

On this particular birthday Pete & I fulfilled an almost necessary dream - to see Johnny Cash, the Man in Black, play live. Ashley came up from Seiad Valley so we got to thank him again. 

By the end of the summer I had reunited with my girlfriend Camella, and we were off to Chicago in a van full of our belongings to begin a new phase of life.

If you have taken the time to follow our whole journey, why not take a minute more and send me a quick review?  It might help me improve the site, and I'm always interested to meet people with similar interests.
