Generosity II
Dear great, generous people,
So offers for bikes and trailers and camping gear and help have been flooding in over the last 48 hours. It's amazing.
This morning we got offers for 3 more bikes a couple of trailers and a bunch of other equipment (camping supplies, clothes, etc.). It's even gotten to the point where we've changed our minds on Amtrak.
We're going to take up some people on their generous offers and take off again by bike, and we're going to make this coastal trip happen. Today we'll be figuring out exactly what we have available to us, but we're going to finish this trip in the bike saddle one way or another.

I'm happy to hear about your decision to go by bike. I think it will be much more meaningful for the story, your trip, and the sustainability movement.
Thanks. Thanks for letting this trouble turn into a kernel of kindness and a good karma for Eugene.
It has been great getting to know you both!

Woah. I haven't read the blog in about a week, and then this evening I find that you guys are the lead story on the H-T Online. My condolences about the tent especially. A good old tent is like a good old friend.
Oh, by the way, is your PayPal account still active? The link is taking me to a PayPal "page not found" page.

I am so sorry that your trip was interrupted by the thoughtlessness and selfishness and greed of others while in Eugene. But I am thankful that your needs have been met by the generosity of others and that you are able to continue your trip by bike. I will follow your website. There really are good people in Eugene, Oregon and all over. Just sorry that you had to be hassled by those who don't appreciate our community for what it is. Blessings and love to both of you.
