last but not least...Fred....

Jim and I have been friends for umpteen years..both working as respiratory therapists at the same hospital on the Oregon coast many years ago. Now we are both polysomnographers at hospitals 3,000 miles away from each other.  Mimi and I met at that same hospital; she was working as a nurse there. Nine years ago, we got married and had the time of our life backpacking the Pacific Crest Trail. I've wanted to bike across the USA for as long as I can remember. In fact, was going to do it on my 50th birthday....but was too madly in love with Mimi to leave her for that long...
Jim and I tricked her into touring with us by saying we would carry all her gear...

Just kidding, Mimi!
