Two guys going from Seattle to Boston .... in the late 1800's!
I found a site about 2 guys who went from Seattle to Boston in the late 1800's!
It has authentic pictures and letters written by one of the riders during the trip.
The writers great-great-great neice found the letters and her husband decided to make the same trip in 2000 and compare notes.
It's great to read about how things were and how they are now.
here's the site:

I'm reading a book "Two Wheels North: Bicycling the West Coast in 1909" about two guys going from Santa Rosa, CA to Seattle for the Expo. Interesting read.
