55 Degrees? Isnt It Summer?!

I4K fans,Today the team left Florence, Oregon and headed southwest on iconic US-101 to Bandon, officially beginning the last stretch of our cross-country ride. We caught sights of the Pacific Ocean as we made our way down Oregon, passing through some beautiful coastal towns with fresh fish and salty air. We were enjoying an easy ride all the way to Charleston when we hit a unexpected surprise-Seven Devils Road (seven devils for the seven giant hills!!!). We traversed through the devils to reach an amazing downhill all the way to Bandon.Staying on the Pacific tonight is a sober reminder that this amazing journey is nearing the end, but we know the best is yet to come as we continue toward California! Thanks to the First Presbyterian Church for housing us for the night, especially so close to the beach!Much Love,I4KP.S. Did we mention that we are officially over 4000 miles? :)
