[OHPV-list] Has anyone crossed the bridge at Astoria?

[Greg Merkley]

   Kirke,

   thanks for the offer, but I'll be taking the coastal route for the 
most part.  I'm catching one ferry from Victoria to Seattle, then 
another from Seattle to Bremerton, and riding the rest of the way.  It's 
my first real tour and I'd love to ride partway with some other folks, 
but I guess I'll just have to see you all at the Retreat.
