I packed the bags and hitched them up to the bike. I think I am actually 10-15 pounds lighter than my last trip. Half of that weight reduction came of my frame. I also rid myself of a heavy tarp, bought a lighter tent, and reduced the clothes. I even have extra room and I am resisting the temptation of filling space. For those of you have hiked or biked, you have a greater appreciation of understanding that every ounce lost is big.
I recently read about warmshowers.org and signed myself up both as a host and a participant. It's an online source for finding places to stay for those traveling by bicycle. Sounds like a great resource and a neat way to meet the locals.
The Lewis & Clark Trail is listed as one of the 1000 places to see before you die. The Columbia River Gorge in Oregon specifically. Another one to cross off the list!
