I seem to remember in the past that there was a club library. If it still exists and someone in in charge, I'm seeking the book "Two Wheels North: Bicycling the West Coast in 1909". Or, if someon has a copy I can borrow for an article i'm writing for the Clark County Museum.

Scott, you are right, there was a club library. I was the librarian eons ago. Bringing the boxes of books to each club meeting got to be way too cumbersome. So, I listed all the books in a section of the website, if I remember correctly. Then if someone wanted to borrow one to let me know and I would bring it to the next club meeting. Since many books were outdated or not relevant anymore, the library was eventually sorted out and those books were brouht to a meeting for anymore to take what they wanted. I then "retired" as librarian and I don't remember what happened with the rest of the books.

I do remember the book "Two Wheels North. Bicycling the West Coast in 1909." I read it and it was a fascinating read what those boys went through. Hopefully, someone will have that copy for you to read.

Scott The Fort Vancouver Library in downtown should be able to loan you a copy of the book. The staff are very helpful with search and you can put a hold on it .It's great. Great explanations of the rough terrain. Poor rural people. Frank Cardinaux
