Once upon a time a crazy girl, with little money and bad hair decided she wanted to explore the great northwestern part of America. She decided to do so slowly in order to explore the crevasses and crannies that are often missed from behind the window of a car.
This girl not only wanted to connect with the people of the land, hear their stories and connect with wilderness, but also build a new experience to learn from and share with others. To help make this a reality and to travel slowly, sustainably and with a very thin wallet this dashing young woman decided what better way to travel than by the two wheeled, man made machine called a bicycle.
She purchased a touring bike and invited a friend to share in her travels. Together they decided on a route and began the planning process for their journey.
