And Here We Go!
Tomorrow’s the day, first step in what I’m hoping will be a lifetime of amazing memories, grand sights and picturesque scenery. I was a little nervous all day, but now I’m completely ready and itching to go. I’m glad to have a friend riding along with me to Green Bay to start things off.
43 stops, 4 national parks, over 10,000 miles of road and 45+ days of travel lie ahead, and I can’t wait.
Here’s the bike all packed up from my test fitting earlier. Camping things in one bag, clothes in another. Gear in one saddle bag, jacket and camera items in the other, electronics and miscellaneous items in the backpack.
Oh the places I’ll go! See you on the road.

Hi Pete!
You don’t know me but I went to Loyola with Cami for a few years, and followed her blog after that. Everything you said about her spirit and character are exactly right. She was absolute sunshine, I’m so sorry for your loss.
I wanted to let you know that I have a good friend who travels almost exclusively by bike and currently lives in AZ (works seasonally in the mountains) and has lived in CO among other cities.
If you ever needed bike tips or wanted to meet a nice stranger along the way I’d love to connect you two.
I’m excited for you to take this adventure and I too have been pursuing more travel and life goals because of Cami <3
Ride safe. Best,
Olivia

What an amazing trip you are going to have Pete! I know Cami would be so excited for you. If you end up in Grand Junction, Colorado you are always welcome to stay at my parents house for a night or whatever; they have a spare bedroom and a great working shower! Can’t wait to hear about all of your adventure!
Safe and happy travels to you, Pete. And I wish you peace above all else.

Hi Pete, This is Cami’s auntie Maria. You look like you are ready for wherever your adventures will take you! I’m really glad that you are taking us along with you!

I cannot imagine a better way to honor Cami, travel, adventure, taking a risk and following your heart, it embodies everything about her. Her spirit will be will you the whole way.
