hello from oregon!

Hi New Futures family (that means you),

Larissa and I have made it all the way to Oregon! We spent 7 days on our bicycles, pedaling down the side of a small highway through forests, by blue lakes, along the ocean shore, and across farmland. It's hard, and we get tired, but we're having so much fun.

Sleeping in a tent - it is not soft like a bed!

Carrying 40 pounds of gear on my bike - yikes! I'm getting stronger.

The dried food - tastes amazing when you're really hungry.

I want to know about you.

Write me one sentence about the most exciting thing that's happened to you this week!

Love,

Ellie

New Photos of Ellie's Adventure!

Hi everyone,

Here are some fantastic photos of Ellie and Larissa!
They're on their way to California!

Check out all that gear! Remember how heavy it was? Do you think they'll be able to pull it all the way there?

What do you think they've had to eat this week?





















....And away they go!
