Today's destination: BAR HARBOR
Believe it or not, today is the day our tires take a drink in the salty waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The last leg of the journey should take us about 40 miles from Bucksport to Bar Harbor, where Don's dad will be waiting with a camera and other implements of celebration. This morning is incredibly surreal, as it doesn't occur to you as you leave Seattle on a bike that you will actually make it to the Atlantic. What next? We have all become so accustomed to our lifestyle on the road that returning to our normal lives will take some adjustment. Regardless, we are excited to be here and proud of what we've accomplished. Coastal Maine is every bit as beautiful and interesting as you would think, and although it's cold, it doesn't seem like we will see any snow. After we load the bikes on the rack and polish off the champagne and lobster, we plan on taking a drive through Acadia National Park to check out the scenery. Then Beantown awaits...

Congratulations you guys! Can't tell you how much we admire you for what you have done! We have looked forward to your reports and will miss you blog and videos. Maybe you should just keep up the running commentary on your lives - it's nice to have our daily chuckle. Your welcome to use our back pasture for camping out if, when you get back to Seattle, you have a desire to sleep in the cold and bugs.
It's strange to think of Karl as "Uncle Karl".
Thanks for all you done.

Congratulations Guys! I'll bet you can't really believe it's over. You know...when you get home to your own beds, your probably going to be dreaming of peddling in your sleep for the next week.
We have really enjoyed following you across the country with your videos and blogs. Sorry we couldn't get together while you were here in Maine, but you have my e-address, so make sure you write if your ever back this way.
Thank you for all you've done to help Brigham & Women's in their attempt to tame this MonSter!

Congratulations! We have enjoyed keeping up with your journey over the past months. It was a great honor to have to stay with us. You are all wonderful young men for what you have done to raise awareness and funds for MS. We must also say that you are just plain wonderful guys, you proved that during your stay, you were our only cyclist guests this year who did the dishes!!! What more can we say!!
Have a safe trip to "bean town" and keep in touch with us once in awhile, we would love to know where you all end up next.
Best Wishes,
Bollingers

Congratulations Dudes. Great job.
Your trip of discovery for yourselves and recognition of the horrors of MS was a just cause and I hope that you have raised awareness of that terrible disease. Perhaps when you return to the Seattle area the local TV stations will do a segment on your trip and your cause. Best of luck to each of you. As Spock would say "live long and prosper"!
