HERE'S THE MAP LINK, YA BIG FREAKS
After exiting the ferry Friday morning, Ed rode to Sedro Wooley, WA, which he believes is linked somehow to a character from "Chico and the Man" (for you whipper snappers, that was an awesome show in the '70s starring Freddie Prinze). An extensive search for this connection could not be found, but if you find one, you win a cookie.
Now that he's gotten a little more organized for the last half of the trip, he's plotted a rough outline of his course. This is, of course, barring any detours, scenic routes and plain laziness. We're hoping he gets to Denver by the third week of October.
After Sedro, he'll head east (obviously) through North Cascades National Park and then on to Idaho and Montana. Yesterday, at the request of his mother, he went to the ranger's office for the park and got some maps and whatnot from them.
"My mommy asked me to come in and talk to you guys," Ed told the rangers. I know this made Annie very happy.
"Do you want to call her from here?" they asked. Ed laughed and said no thanks.
Apparently, there is an adventure cyclist shop in Missoula that Ed wants to visit, so head's up ya'll - the Crazy Bike Guy is coming.
After that, who knows. South to Colorado, most likely, but which road is anyone's guess.
For your viewing fun, here are a few pictures:
That's him somewhere in the woods - wearing Sooner colors.Don't know where this is, but isn't he adorable?
And, because luxury accomodations are his thing, here's a place he stayed along the way:
