A Conclusion to a great adventure.

This adventure was more than a success. Over a year ago we all started talking about the idea of traveling across the country over the summer. One thing lead to the next and sure enough we pulled it off. It was a dream that came true. It could not have been remotely possible without the support and enthusiasm from our families friends who helped us along the way. The adventure may have only lasted a summer but the memories will carry with us a life time. The people we met and connections we made along the way are cherished by all of us. In many ways this trip showed us how to appreciate the life we live and who we value. We still look back and can't really believe it happened. It seems like it was all a dream. Today we sold the bus and pass on its legacy to another adventurer. This does not mean it is the end of our adventure. We all have our separate paths to pursue but more adventures are to come. With that we all would like to say we thank you for a great adventure and never sell yourself short, shoot for the stars and maybe you will end up with a bus.

-The BUS BOYS

A little throw back to our travels from Utah to the California Coast.

After Will's grandfather's wedding in Cincinnati (pictures soon to come), we drove to the Kentucky's Louisville Mega Cavern, the world's largest indoor bike park.

We found a couple of fun jump lines to session, but unfortunately much of the park was closed due to wet conditions. Easily the most unique location for a bike park we have seen.

After spending the night in Mason City, Iowa, we drove into Chicago and explored for a few hours. It was a huge improvement on Portland, and might have been the coolest city we have visited yet.

We spent our first night of the journey home in Sturgis, South Dakota. We missed the motorcycle rally by about a week, but the whole town was already ramping up for it, with every store filled up with leather jackets and jean vests.

Made a quick stop at Mt. Rushmore to take a look. We were greeted by thousands of tourists at the base who were not all happy as we attempted to take a run around the base.

We met our friend Andrew Wales at Elk Creek Ranch, where he has spent every summer since he was thirteen. The ranch sits in the picturesque Sunlight Valley, forty minutes outside of Cody, seemingly isolated from civilization. After an amazing dinner that night we spent the next day on the ranch irrigating the grazing fields and swimming in a nearby river. Undoubtedly one of our most unique stops yet. Thanks so much to Andrew and everyone else at Elk Creek for hosting us.

Spent two days in Jackson Hole that were far too filled with fun to make time to take too many pictures. We took a crazy mountain bike ride on a trail built by Teton Gravity Research our first day, and went for a beautiful run in the mountain above Jackson the second. Thanks so much to Charlotte Cole, Lily Koffman, Dustin Ramsay, and Ben Allen for having us. Next we took a whirlwind one-day tour of Yellowstone before joining our friend Andrew Wales at Elk Creek Ranch, just outside of Cody, Wyoming.

We arrived just in time for one of Old Faithful's eruptions.

A wonderful lunch of rice delight on the shores of Yellowstone Lake.

We were truly amazed by the scale of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

It was terrifying to see the damage a forest fire had inflicted upon the entire eastern portion of the park. There were sections where we were completely surrounded by burnt-out trees.

Mountains between Yellowstone and Cody, Wyoming.

Got a sweet ride in at Adam's Gulch in Sun Valley

Saw some cool cars at the Sun Valley Auto Rally

Washing dishes in a local river

Spent a few days in Missoula before heading out to Sun Valley. It was a surprisingly nice city!

The local second hand store had tons of cool, old stuff in it. The store fit in well with Missoula's old western vibe.

Crossed into Idaho just in time to see this beautiful sunset over the mountains

1 AM in Idaho

Showered in the sprinklers of an elementary school field in Spokane following a morning run along the river. There are some advantages to the foolish pursuit of growing grass in the desert.

After a sweet afternoon mountain bike ride in Spokane we crossed Idaho panhandle into Big Sky Country: Montana

Drove through rural Washington at night and awoke to find ourselves in a small German village

Confused

Got a good ride in on "Xanadu" in the beautiful mountains outside of Leavenworth, Washington

When you don't have access to running water you must use all resources available to you

We checked out Spokane, Washington's famous Riverfront park and were confronted with a disturbing sight. Within a small section of the park, hundreds of people, completely unaffiliated with one another, were gathered playing Pokemon Go. It looked as if we were trapped within a crowd of mindless zombies. A terrifying experience. We quickly fled from downtown Spokane to sleep at a nice spot by the river, free of zombies.

Rice delight for dinner. Yum.

Headed back to the greatest country in the world to drop Ben off at the airport in Seattle

Mt. Rainier rose above the clouds as we drove into the city

Sad to see Ben go. And then there were two.

Caught a beautiful sunset in Squamish before setting up for the night

Interesting combo in downtown Squamish

Quite possibly the most picturesque Wal-Mart in existence

The promised land: Whistler Bike Park.

We were so stoked on the riding that we didn't stop to take many photos. Whistler Bike Park definitely lived up to its reputation.

Spent the day exploring Vancouver while attempting to wrangle the banking system into allowing Will to buy a new bike

Got the bike!

After buying the bike we headed up to the North Shore trails, some of the gnarliest in the world, for an evening shred. Some of the features on the trails were truly unbelievable.
