californ-i-a!

We made it to CALIFORNIA!! We were welcomed to the state with the most anticlimactic sign that could ever be, but even that did little to take away from such a momentous occasion. California! The last state line! We made it all the way to California!! I think it was a little bit of a shock for all of us to see that sign. When you are on the road, it's really hard to think more then a few hours ahead and have those thoughts be very concrete. You just do it, and then do it, and then all of a sudden you're crossing into your last state. South Lake Tahoe is a beautiful place, and not only are we in California, we are also on the heels of our third and final day off. Spirits are definitely high. Here are a few pictures:


Nevada gave us one more long, hot climb as a going away present, but we handled it just fine.


Melon, Joel and I at the state line. If you squint a little you can see it!

Our day off was spent lazing about. We went to the beach, ate good food, watched the sunset and rocked some karaoke. I also got my bike fixed, and after crossing almost all of Nevada in granny gears it's amazing to be able to shift again! Only four days left until the trip is over, and I still can't believe how fast it's all gone! San Francisco, here we come!
