39S092 - Tom &Melawend Reach Diamond Head - Oahu, Hawaii - t.jpg (15054 bytes) "Tom & Melawend Reach Diamond Head"       Oahu, Hawaii

It had been almost two years since Melawend and I rolled passed a turn in the Niagara Escparment (near Grimsby, Ontario, Canada) that reminded me of the recumbent lionesque form of Diamond Head.  It was a dream to reach the real place, what with so much time and so many obstacles to overcome before reaching this Odyssey milestone.

43S026 - A Golden Moment for Tom & Melawend - Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco - t.jpg (11729 bytes) "A Golden Moment"       Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco

Another special Odyssey moment.... After Melawend and I had finally reached the terra firma of North America once again.  We rolled north along the awesome Pacific shore of California to San Francisco where we stayed for a few days.  In this image, I take a last longing look at one of America's great Gateways: The Golden Gate Bridge.  After taking this self-portrait, we rolled over the bridge one more time before heading east to begin the home run.
