Saturday August 23, 2008 -- Okanogan, Washington

Just got an email from Drexel. The blog is a little out of order with some gaps, but we are going to get a system down here and hopefully keep everyone updated with great stories and pictures and free up Drexel to ride more and email less and mess with downsizing all his pics for emails, etc.

At the top right of the blog, I have a couple links to maps that show Drexel's progress. They are very interesting. Check them out, both the "zoomed in" view and the "zoomed out" view. HIT THE "BACK" BUTTON TO RETURN TO BLOG AFTER VIEWING THE MAPS.
