Northern Oregon and Hood River bound

So, the last couch surfing home in Otis, OR was a nice reprieve from the previous one.  They stayed with these people for two nights, enjoyed great food (all freshly cut up and served), and then got a ride all the way to Portland.  Once in Portland they enjoyed traveling by the city train or tram and were impressed by the high tech system the city has for the movement of people.  

Here in Portland, Levi was able to connect with the parents of one his friends at Western Washington University so they are staying with them until Jim Buttrick, Ken's friend from Boeing days, comes down to the Hood River for windsurfing and vacationing.  The guys plan to meet up with Jim this weekend, stay with him and catch a ride up to Seattle for a ride home.  So much for the rest of the bike ride, eh?  I guess high winds, hot weather, sore bottoms and dangerous roads have made them want to get to their destination and find friendly paths to ride.

They hope to get to Duvall early next week and enjoy some time in the Washington Cascades, camping, biking and hiking.  These are a couple new pics I've gotten, seems as though the recumbent is looking more appealing now with their sore shoulders and bums!
