WHAT, no Michigan in your travel plans? That's okay. Hope you guys stay within yourselves in every way during this trans! And, hope for a tailwind, kind folks along the way and a good night's sleep regularly. All of us look forward to your reports.

Good luck, very cool. I wish I lived along the route, but no dice. Hopefully people will check out the web site. Here is the link to the route. It was not that obvious on the web site so here is the link.

Good luck guys.

Everyone on the list can help by pushing this thread to the top.

Quite the adventure!

You dudes is MAAAAAAADDD.

I'm jealous. Good Luck.

Sehon 40,

I was a former roommate of yours renting a room for about 1 month around November. I remember the outings to Barnaby's for wings and beer and WB&A for hotdogs and pitchers, conversing about this great adventure of yours. And I recall you coming home from work day after day, bundling up for a run wearing reflector bib and all, and heading out in the cold darkness for 16 or 18 milers. With that kind of dedication I knew it was going to happen sooner or later.

Well here you are now and I just want to say congrats on all the planning and following through with your dreams. Best of luck to the both of you and I'm looking forward to reading about your road tour progress in your website journals.

Best regards,

Ryan O

You boys be careful out there and good luck........looks like there will be a lot of nights sleeping underneath an overpass.

Absolutely have fun out there. I love this type of adventure running (or at least reading about it).

here is a website for lodging. It is for cycling but it may work for running. try it out and good luck.http://www.rogergravel.com/wsl/vh_for_a.html

you guys rule!!! i'm sure i'll check your site every day. don't give up on this!! and wyoming will suck.

Best of luck guys. This will be an amazing adventure. Something you will be able to look back upon for the rest of your lives. I hope some day I have the balls to try something adventurous like that! Unfortunately, I'm not along the route either. I'll be sure to follow your progress online.

You shouldn't shave for the entire 5 months, just to get the full Forrest Gump effect.

Best of luck to you, Scott and Dave. Having done a relay from Oregon to Boston last summer, I can tell you from personal experience that you are going to have a truly extraordinary time. May the weather gods smile on both of you.

in the name of self promotion (and perhaps survival in this case) i'm selfishly moving my thread back to the top of the charts. thanks to everyone for the notes so far! to answer one question, we will not be shaving or cutting our hair.

well, if you're a regular at barnaby's i'll see you on thursday night.......sehon

just moving this back to the top....scott sehon

Scott, have you had anymore people offer places to stay along the route since posting here? Hope so.

Great for you, fellas, and I wish you the best on what will doubtless be the adventure of a lifetime. I'm very envious...except for the grooming plan...I strongly recommend haircuts every 2 months and and shaves every 2 weeks, if for no other reason than to be more palatable to media (and police) in the municipalities you pass through.

Stay healthy, and remember to switch sides of the road every few miles to keep from an imbalance.

Route over Oregon Cascades will be tough, especially after 2,600 miles of running. Give some serious thought to running through Columbia River Gorge on frontage roads parallel to I-84. I'd cross over to WA 14 at Umatilla, OR and follow the Columbia all the way to the coast.
