Stinkwater Pass elev. 4848 the highest point in this trip so far. Just a few details. Since leaving LA I have peddled 711 miles. One week ago I left the ocean. That was 381 miles ago and almost one mile in elevation. Not bad for a weeks work.

711 miles seems like a long way, but it is about 1/6th the distance I will travel in this trip. 4848 feet seems high, but I will go at least twice this high in Yellowstone.

As I look back, this has been a great trip. Tomorrow, I plan to leave Oregon, another mile stone. I am very excited about the Rockies. I hope that the rest of this trip will be just as exciting as the first part.
