I spy some facial hair, I need a closer shot please! I love WA!
Hey, I think I met your dad while I was in Oceanside, CA. He started telling me about what it is you're doing and at first, I thought he was talking about me. I'm hiking north along the coast, blogging along the way. Anyway, I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I look forward to getting caught up on your blog when I have the chance. Safe travels!
Yep, that's my pops. Perhaps you and I will collide somewhere in the middle? i thought about switching over to a backpack once the weather warms up. Then I could ditch the cold gear and go light. Peace in your travels,
-Mike:.
I do love your beautiful pictures. I think you very brave to be going on such an adventure. I do not think I have the courage to undertake such a thing...but I wish that I did. You are a wonderful story teller and I am enjoying your tales very much. Will be praying for you.
God bless

We met you yesterday in Waldport, Oregon. You survived that gale force storm yesterday. We wish you all the best on the rest of your journey.
