Day two found us traveling 559.1 miles through a couple of thunderstorms with a couple of stops for gas and a stop in Fruita for food. Music playing, photos taken, another day of conversation. We are halfway to Champaign/Urbana! Kev is in Colorado for the first time ever, pretty exciting! Tomorrow we go to Kansas… lookout Dorothy!

I lied… Karen took this photo in San Francisco and I wanted to post it because I really liked it. Nice job with the Canon Powershot.
Stack of Rocks… And Earl

Had to include the close up of Earl with the rocks. He’s a good looking guy… that Earl.
Earl And The Lady

Earl had a great view of the strange stacks of rocks in this area as well as the bridge in the distance. He loves to travel.
The Golden Lady

As Vicki and Sandy finished the marathon (Sandy went along with Vicki the last half of her 13 mile walk), Karen and I wandered along the water from the Golden Gate to the wharf. A long walk, but worth it. Lovely day. Beautiful, gorgeous, and we were there.
Bay Bridge

The lesser popular Bay Bridge. If you ask me, it’s still kinda cool.
Hawthorne, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Lastly… this is the third photo I chose to donate to the Amani Center fund raising bash this coming Saturday. The Hawthorne Bridge, Portland. All three of these shots ended up looking great framed. Now, again… just hope I make the center some money on Saturday.

This week, while driving around, I snapped this one with my iphone camera. Not a bad pic for the iphone.
Getting Vertigo, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
I always have to take a few odd shots. This, looking up the support on the Freemont, is one of those. Kind of makes you feel a bit dizzy looking at it.
Looking West, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
This is the view facing the other way, west, from the Freemont. The water of the Willamette looked so cool Sunday. Love this one.
Standing On The Bridge, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
This is Kristen taking a photo of me taking a photo. Cool just to be up there on the Freemont. What a great day with some terrific friends. You ladies are da bomb!!

Yes folks, another photograph of downtown Portland, this time from the Freemont Bridge.
Broadway Bridge, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
After the Burnside we crossed the Broadway Bridge. Really nice. So cool to be able to ride over it. In this photo are Kate and Kristen. Kate, we are still jealous of your bike shorts! Oh, and your gloves by the way.
View From The Burnside, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
A quick stop on the Burnside gave us a look over at the Steele Bridge, The Freemont Bridge in the background (the Broadway Bridge is in between these two bridges), the Rose Garden on the right in the photo, and the seawall in the photo on the left.
View From The Marquam, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Looking the other way from the top of the Marquam you can see the city, and the first bridge we’d crossed over going East, the Hawthorne. I love Portland. What a gorgeous magnificent city.
View From The Ross Island, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
The second bridge we crossed during the Bridge Pedal was the Ross Island. Nice view from there toward some of the other bridges we’d be tackling later.
Traveling The Sandy, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Such a fantastic time last Saturday with the girls. What a great group of people and just a lovely time. So, when are we going again?
Evening on The Columbia, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Sun setting, Columbia River, Osprey… there’s nothing better than that.
Steele, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
The light Friday evening was beautiful. All soft and clear. I love this city.
Interstate, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
We rode past the Marquam Bridge on our route biking the other night. The blue sky was stunning.
The Rose, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
A shot of the Sternwheeler Rose heading under the Morrison and up river with Cinco de Mayo tents behind it.
Stay On The Path, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
This was the walkway/bike path up to the bridge level.
Big Pink, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Here she is… the Bancorp Tower, locally and lovingly known as Big Pink, is the second tallest building in Portland. Or at least it was, which could have changed now with all the south waterfront building that’s been going on. However, I don’t believe any of those buildings are as tall as this recognizable beauty.
Evening at Cathedral, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
So we started off this last weekend with a walk at Cathedral Park with the pups. The weather was nice, and the pups appreciated it. I didn’t bring along my usual camera, so my iphone camera had to do the picture taking. This one is a bit dark, but still not that bad…

One last photo from our walk in the park today. Yes, also taken with the iphone.
