All America lies at the end of the wilderness road. Our forefathers had civilization inside them, the wild outside. We live in the civilization they created, but within us the wilderness still lingers. What they dreamed, we live, and what they lived, we dream.

We leave at first light to explore the Oregon coast, probably by way of Corvallis. Today saw the squad learn a lot about adjusting the tension of brakes and other matters of bike mechanics. We also experienced our first major fall when my front tire fell into the groove of the street car tracks in downtown Portland.
Like sailors in port, Portland has been decidedly off budget. Trips to bike stores, REI, Euro soccer have all contributed.
