Day 70: 0 miles from Grant Pass, OR to Grant Pass, OR. Spent the unexpected off day between In-N-Out, bookstores, and a delayed Christmas in July party. #i4k #2019bikeamericateam

Day 71: 80 miles driving from Grant Pass, OR to Crescent City, CA. Another day of shuttling, this time due to the Milepost 97 fire north of Grant Pass. But crossed our last state sign and reached the coast! #i4k #2019bikeamericateam

Day 76: 91 miles from Humboldt Redwoods State Park, CA to Willits, CA. US-101 was, uh, fun and did quite some damage to the number of tubes we have left. #i4k #2019bikeamericateam
