Look forward to your pictures. I understand your feelings. My west coast tour was from south of San Francisco to near Malibu.. It was a great feeling. I particularly liked talking to fellow bike travelers at California state parks at night. They'd have a section set aside just for cycle tent people back then. ( their policy was, there is always space for a cyclist on tour no matter how full they were. ) We met many interesting people about the campsite on tour who we made friends with.. Cycle tourists recognize one another just while pedaling down the highway and stop to talk about their trips.. Congrats on having a fun tour. It is a rewarding experience.
