  1. <p>Leaving the Dalles, I had a heck of a time getting out, and once I got to the
  2. road I was planning to take, I was opposed (for the first time) by a sign
  3. explicitly banning bicycles. The signs were too large, obvious, and numerous to
  4. claim ignorance. And they forced me down a much more dangerous and miserable
  5. road. So, the Dalles were the pits, beginning, middle, and end.</p>
  6. </br>
  7. <p>But coming into Madison, I caught a lovely free ferry with another biker and
  8. enjoyed the hills, which I had not had the pleasure of for at least a few flat
  9. states. Wisconsin looks quite reminiscent of Washington.</p>
  10. <p>I stayed for a day at the hostel sharing a room with a nut named Charlie who
  11. was convinced his father was the Buddha. I thoroughly enjoyed State St. in
  12. downtown Madison. This is a place I'd like to live.</p>
