Kah Klatawa Mr. Alford?

Where the World is Mr. Alford?

Before we commence with this riddle a congratulations must be extended, for Renn B. correctly identified Olympia as the location where the last leg of Mr. Alford's adventure ended.

Weeks have passed and many miles left behind,  no doubt Mr. Alford's location is on many of minds.  Abducted by Sasquatch?  Run out of steam?  Without many clues of location, anywhere could Mr. Alford now be!  Be assured Brookside Students, Mr. Alford is healthy as a horse, spurring his little steel pony and staying true to his course!

A ride through the mountains of Washington that will someday explode, on paths that Mr. Alford's dear wife Jenny says barely pass as cyclable roads.  Over the huge river that sources far to the north in BC and carries water to the oldest settlement between the Rockies and Pacific Sea.

A short respite in a city famous for bike culture and it's quest to stay weird,  allowed Mr. Alford the opportunity to create a fine mustache from his thick beard.  A ride further west across hills formed by tectonic plates to a coastal city and an ocean which bear the same name.

Many new friends from lands far and lands near, a 36th birthday for Mr. Alford celebrated with laughter and cheers.  With the strong winds on their backs and heads into the noonday sun, Mr. Alford and his beautiful wife Jenny pedaled their steel ponies along the 101.  Over great hills and through huge dunes of fine sand, under the canopy of ancient giants they travelled through this land.

And so this riddle will end and bring you up to date, with Mr. Alford found in the city entered by  Golden Gates. He is off to a viewing of sail races near the "Island of the Pelicans", which is now a National Park and no longer a state prison.

Be the first to comment below as to his current locale, and a gift card to Second Ascent will be mailed from Mr. Alford's good pal (Mr. Rodger's that is).

A fine farewell is bid to his brilliant Bluejay's,  and a friendly reminder from Mr. Alford to exercise each day!

Kloshe Konaway,

Mr. Alford
