Josie’s bike, Neruda, hanging on the rack at the Adventures Edge bike shop in Arcata, ready to be packed up and shipped home after almost 450 miles down the coast. Will and I leave tomorrow heading south, Josie flies home from Arcata Saturday. No words can describe this 2-week adventure with my daughter. So hard to say goodbye.

I can’t even bring to my imagination my mom and I doing a trip like that back in the day…even by car, no mother-daughter road trips. You two have done something so amazing, and wonderful. Can’t wait to hear stories, stories!!
I have been in tears off and on all day. It’s been a rite of passage– such intense experiences, wave after wave of ups and downs, literally, emotionally, every way. Could not have imagined it in my wildest dreams. Very hard to go on without her, but it’s definitely the right thing for all. There’s a sense of completion here…
Cath, Josie and Will!!!
Youbetcha…life on Life’s terms. Feel the feelings, and move through…
Your 450 miles together is 450 miles that 99.9% of us will never take. It’s celebration time; for all the memories, the new friends made, the vistas viewed and the hot showers had!
We loved you before, and we love you after. Can hardly wait to hear more about all that you’ve learned. Cheers Dear Ones! Truly, Pedal Power forever!
XOXO
