The Beers

Alicia and I enjoy many outdoor activities. Alicia has long had a life goal of bicycling across America. It sounded like a great adventure to me. This was an opportune pause in our lives with a recent job loss (May 2009), so with just three weeks of planning and training - we were off.

This trek started May 24th, 2009 from Anacortes, Washington ending 65 days later in Portland, Maine (We had expected 60 days to Bar Harbor, Maine.).

Day 47. Ashkum

This photo is from Kempton, IL. A town we nearly zipped through. A
fella stopped us on the way out of town and insisted we really needed
to see the bookstore. While the bookstore was nice and cozy, it was
two other things that really struck me. There were all these great
murals on the buildings.

See how Alicia added her touch to this one.

The other unusual thing for this town of 150 was the scooters and
unicycle. We saw 4 different scooters and one unicycle complete with
friendly kids guiding them around. It was almost surreal.
