Probably a counter-clockwise swirl (lol) around Oregon. I think it was 3.5 weeks, maybe 4. Solo, unsupported, no hotels. Mostly paved roads, but some fire/logging roads as well. One flat on my horrible flatting tube tires

I guess it was just the right conjunction of no responsibilities (outside of work, but I got the time completely off and didn't have to call in or anything), youth, a quiet mind, and beautiful scenery. The first half was perfect weather. From the coast on the second half it didn't stop raining for a few weeks, and that was a little tiresome, but not completely unexpected for early October.
