Ok sorry it took me so long to get the West to East moving but I am moving as well.

The sprocket already took the dip in the Ocean.

Google Maps

This should be really easy to find as I put it up a trail right off the road as you enter. Follow along with the photo's. The trail is in the day area where it is free to park.

So only parking lot on the left. Park near the second 10mph speed sign.

From here you will want to walk to the 1 o'clock. There is a hiking trail there that is also a dog walk.

Go up the trail for about 20 meters or so. Follow the main trail.
There will be a big downed log that helps mark the trail on your right hand side.

At the end of the log there is a twin leafy tree that is about 5 meters from it at about a 45deg angle. The sprocket is tethered to the back side of that tree.

Here it is. The combination is the same 11-1-11, remember to go past 1 once and then back to 11.

I covered it a bit but I am hoping that it doesn't sit all that long and it is well shaded so no one should mess with it. I coated the sprocket in chain wax to help it keep from rusting.

The biggest problem that I see is it getting down past Oregon/Northern California. I know that there are a few Seattle people and a few Portlander's but I don't know anyone in the Northern California area.

Holy Crap!

I can't believe it actually made it, without being lost, stolen, vandalized or the lock freezing up!

Drunkenmist is my new hero. that's some hardcore dedication. i never really thought it would make it all the way when i started this, but seeing the shot with the old and new sprockets in the Pacific gave me chills. i'd like to see the final cleaned, polished protected and mounted "trophy" you make out of the east-west one when its done.
