On the second leg of their trip, George and Kristen stumbled on a coffee shop with internet in the cute (and very windy) town of Bandon, OR. At 70+ miles, G & K finished 10% of their total ride! Jen and Justin are reaquainting themselves with Rosalee the RV. Although she's run smoothly so far, her appliances are showing their age; J & J had to visit three R.V. shops yesterday to find a new water pump so the campers can have running water aboard.
Sunset Bay and Honeyman campsites have been lovely--white, sandy beaches, huge dunes to play on, and lots of stars in the dark night sky. George and Kristen even took hot showers last night.
Two injuries so far, neither related to cycling: Kristen was stung by a bee while zooming down Hwy 101, and George has a minor cut on his pinky finger that's healing nicely.
We are collecting many pictures to upload, and are hoping to share these with you in the next few days, when we find our next internet connection.
Love to everyone!
Kristen, George, Jen, and Justin

Good to hear your ride is going nicely! I was in North Bend last week and it was beautiful....quite a few bikes heading south. Crescent City is supposed to be Hi in the 60's and low in the 50's. Maybe a few showers Wednesday. A few showers and some wind...sounds like the coast to me!
Take care and watch out for sharks (cars and fish)
Hope you and George are healing well.
Love you
I haven't been down to Bandon in ages! But what i remember of it was wonderful. And you're on to my favorite stretch - the coastal redwoods!! what a wonderful place to bike through.
Ouch! for the bee sting and best wishes for the finger cut. Just how did you manage that? Love and luck to you.
WOW!!! 96o here today (Tues). Talked to G & N last night....they're watching your site daily and think its neat. I bet there will be a post soon.Hope all is well with you guys! Take care and we love you!!!
ENJOY EACH AND EVERY BEND OF THE HIGHWAY AS YOU WIND YOUR WAY TO HALFMOON BAY.
