Well, the good news is that my angel friend Marcus agreed to come pick us up. He came up behind us and met us with van and bike rack (and beer and chocolate) as we were chillin' at the summit of Mt. Lassen, then went ahead and secured a campsite, but let us enjoy the downhill. THEN drove all the way back to Oakland. Yay for good friends.

Of course, we paid him for the gas and his troubles, but better than greyhound by far!

see the first week of this site for some random pics and stuff from the trip (with 2 friends continuing on to Minnesota, now): http://bikebums.com/2008
