Tomorrow, we wake super early again to head back to Boise and Mountain Time. The next "big" bike experience is queueing up to be Trail Pass Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. It goes over 12,000 feet!

Return Trip - Day 38 - Portland, OR
Got up at 6:20 this morning...that's sleeping in for the bike trip! We drove to Newport, OR to see the Yaquina Head lighthouse, eat at an amazing lunch spot on the inlet (the new port?), and then drove to Portland, where our date with the minor league baseball game got nixed by rain. It's okay - we've got Red Sox v. Yankees tickets for later this year, although it would have been nice to see the Portland Beavers take on the formidable Las Vegas 51s (!?!?!?!?!?!).

How about "Biggest Road Kill"?
Congratulations! Now your next big hurdle ... your drive home. As I'm imagining it, as you left for this trip, you already knew everything of consequence about each other. Now this big adventure will be fueling all your conversations for the next two years, and you're both certainly familiar enough with those stories that they can't hold much interest for either of you. Then, of course, once you're back at the Center, you still have to be around each other. So -- my advice -- spend the rest of the trip in complete silence.
Otherwise, you'll both come back to work, rush to your desks, look at each other and be totally stumped. "Uh, what's new?" I mean, really, how are you going to answer that?
This way, you'll have all those meals in the Midwest to critique.
So then, total silence. Starting ... mmm ... now.
