Walk With Me, Tyler E. Burgess

Train traveling in 2021.

The train trip was pleasant and everyone was well spaced apart.

It is so good to see my family in Seattle again. Everyone is vaccinated and well.

From the West Glacier train station, I cycled into Glacier National Park, along Lake McDonald and up the Going to the Sun Highway. The road was closed before the Loop, something to do with an avalanche! But the next day the road was open and I cycled to the Loop. After that point, snow plows are still clearing the road of snow.

Also, I hiked to Avalanche Lake, 4 miles round trip. Funny thing is people ask where I am from and have I been here before. Then I tell them I was born and raised in Wyoming and lived in Billings, Montana for 18 years. Now I live in Eugene, Oregon, and this is my first trip to Glacier National Park! Gorgeous as it is, we stuck closer to home, the Big Horn Mountains, Yellowstone National Park, the Tetons.

August 31 to September 18, 2020, I cycled in Oregon. When the smoke from forest fires got too intense, I went home to Eugene, loaded my bike in my car and cycled and drove in Oregon and Idaho. Enjoy my sketchbook diary!

After a day of cycling the rails to trails path in Klamath Falls, I cycled UP to Aspen Point Campground.

Electric Lemonade, a recovery drinky.

My front door is guarded by a bull skull from my family’s ranch in Wyoming.

Since it is so nice this summer, I rode my bicycle right out my front door, with a load of camping gear and extra clothes in panniers, north on the Willamette Scenic Bikeway, to the Tualatin Scenic Bikeway, to Astoria, Oregon. Then I rode south along the Oregon Coast to Florence. From there I cycled home to Eugene. About 532 miles of cycling in 12 days (yes, I am bragging). Enjoy my sketchbook diary of my solo bicycle tour celebrating my 70th birthday!

Amanda and Colin were just the best! Cycling creates community!

Wahoo! I made it home!
