ANTICIPATION

Each day as we reach our target town,
And settle in for the night.
Our thoughts go to Astoria, and how we'll feel,
To have finished our trek to the coast.
The Atlantic is a long way back,
And the Pacific is yet a dream.
But we can smell the salt, and feel the wet
As we keep on pedaling along.
It will be wonderful to be in the same position
As Mr. William Clark.
To utter the words, that say it all,
And let you know you're there.
Oh, the Joy!
