Day 9 - Mt. Hood through the town of Government Camp. Guy at the gas station there told me skiing was open on Mt Hood up until end of July this year!? Crazy! Anyway, that's pretty much it, made it home safely.
Thank you Jesus for your protection and the long talks along the way and getting me home safely. Thank you for the beautiful weather, not a single drop of rain the entire trip! Thank you for all of the beauty you have created for us to enjoy - ocean coasts, huge sand dunes, giant redwoods, deep canyons, pristine lakes and rivers, deserts, volcanic mountains and craters, orange barked ponderosas, vultures, eagles, bugeling elk. Thank you for the little things like only 4 mosquitos the entire trip and not running out of gas. Thanks for people I met along the way - stranger's and a friend.

Day 6 continued... the left pic you can see Lassen Volcano where I was earlier in the day. It's the tall peak just left of middle in the left picture. The pic on the right was from the same vantage point and that's Mount Shasta.

Friday, 9/8, is the start of my 2023 trip.
I'm so grateful for my wife and her loving support for me to be able to do this. I know she worries and prays a lot and it isn't easy and that is not lost on me, my love.
Last year's trip through MT, ID, WA was my first long trip and an incredibly epic adventure seeing God's creation, the country I grew up in, and best of all seeing old friends along the way! I still get choked up thinking about it all. It will be in my heart forever and not likely to ever be topped.
I get to do this all from the seat of a motorcycle - something I love to do very much. Dad, thank you for sharing your passion of motorcycles with me at such a young age, I am truly grateful.
Starting out from home this trip and plan to head as far as Nehalem Bay state park on the OR coast where I will camp for the night. I appreciate everyone's prayers for safety!
