Last post! Thanks for reading :)

From tropical Tonsai to snowy Smith in just over a week...coming to you from the Bend McMenamins...our official final blog post! A few pictures and a bit about our road trip back to Oregon.

We got back a little over a week ago and spent about two straight days recovering from the trip, sleeping for ridiculously long stretches of time in the middle of the day in Jeff and Val's apartment. After all the epic sleep, Mike went bouldering for a day at Planet Granite while I met up with Sarah and we walked around town and she showed me her apartment. We had a great three days in SF, thanks to Dewey and Val for everything! It really rounded out our trip nicely to go through San Francisco both on our way to and from Thailand :)

Here are some pictures from around the city...

Now back to Oregon...

Overlooking the coastline in Yachats

Intense winter waves off the 804 trail

Mike got a Grigri2 in Eugene on our way through to Smith, finally! Woohoo, it's so nice!

Snowing on the pass...
First view of Smith in a few months

We lucked out on our first day there with clear weather and sun

and an awesome sunset the night before in Central Oregon.

That's all for this blog! We're having dinner with Heather in Bend tonight, and tomorrow we're driving back to Gresham to have dinner and stay with Mike's parents. Then it's back to Eugene! We want to give a big thank you to everyone for all the support and enthusiasm before and during this trip! With a list that includes Red Rocks, the Grand Canyon, San Francisco, Smith Rock, and the many amazing Thailand and Laos destinations, we feel really fortunate to have traveled for these past three+ months. Thanks for reading along with our adventures!
