I'm thinking they're all positively unconscious in their respective hotel rooms right now, unless Jeff was there to take her home where she could be unconscious. Chris almost didn't get himself a hotel room for last night, until, when he mentioned it about a week ago, and I gave him the MASSIVE evil eye and said, "GET.......THAT......ROOM."

Congratulations, Susan! I can't wait for the report. They're always such good reading! I'm sure there were monumental physical, geographical, and mental ups and downs. I can't wait to hear about them!

Thanks for sending us the updates, Salsabike!
and, what in the world could he have been thinking? that he was going to drive home from Tumwater after he finished????
Fun to hang out with you a bit yesterday...only the slightest bit o' guilt that we were hanging out relaxing, chatting and eating yummy Mick Jagger fries while they were working SO hard.
Congrats to Chris too!

I too think their achievement is truly fabulous and absolutely admirable.
For the record, though, I felt completely guilt-free while hanging out with you, bmccasland, and NbyNW, eating those Mick Jagger fries yesterday. Not an iota of guilt. Not a nanoblip...fill in the blank.
P.S. The Olympic Peninsula loop was 600k, the loop of the 8 to the east into the Cascade foothills was 400k."My predominant feeling is one of gratitude.
