The only pannier left to pack is for my clothes. Then 'll probably unpack and pack again.<br />

I've decided to start up the Mississippi first and return along the Missouri. So the name now for the bike ride is the MS:MO:River:BRide.<br />

It took me several days to ferry my bike from St. Louis to Santa Rosa, California, where I'll begin pedaling in just a few hours. The video below is a memory of the road trip.
There are a few things that the video does not show:
<br />
<ol>
<li>The dead turkey on I 80 in Nebraska</li>
<li>The runner running east on the I 80 W shoulder east of Salt Lake City, pushing a stroller, with a sign that said Coast to Coast</li>
<li>The fully loaded touring biker on I 80 W in Nevada</li>
</ol>
Those three things, other than the wonderful vistas all along the way, were highlights of the car ride west.
A long ride of approximately 2100 miles gives you time to think about stuff. Here are some things I wondered about:
<br />
<ul>
<li>The Platte River system in Nebraska</li>
<li>The water system of the Great Basin</li>
</ul>
The thing that truly up amazed me was that my route on I 80 roughly followed the Oregon Trail, with a cut on the California and Mormon trails. Time and time again I was humbled by the fact that thousands and thousands of pioneers traversed the amazing landscapes of the West to start new lives. A car trip is nothing compared to this. A bike ride of 1500 miles is insignificant compared to this.<br />
