On May 18, 2013, I hope to leave from Western Massachusetts to ride to Alaska.
2013 marks the 40th anniversary of my first cross-country ride: Delaware to Vancouver, BC, June 22-August 1973. The photo below appeared in the Pocahontas Record Democrat, Pocahontas, Iowa, July, 1973. My friend Holcombe Grier (right) and I were photographed camping in the town park. Copies of the photo were mailed to our parents.
