The long bicycle tour is almost over! Molly and I are actually off the bikes and are now “driving” home. In total we cycled 34 days and 1,500 miles carrying all our own gear. Unlike many people, who tour, I carried lots of camera equipment, my Canon Sx60, my Sony NEX-5t, and a monopod! This amount of photography equipment is actually somewhat amazing if one considers that I only had with me three sets of clothes, one of which was on me at all times! One must just set priorities in life, including bike touring.
On the way home I had the opportunity to photograph these two wood ducks in a small pond. It looks like spring is even working its way up into Minnesota! Very much looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tomorrow night.

A photo of me … shows how much gear I carry (or how little!), includes a sleeping bag and tent
One final bird from our trip … a neat Mockingbird photo
Our final bike route …
