Service Interruption

-

 Yesterday's stage, and the next couple days, will be delayed due to:

Very limited wifi; and, 

Good friends of ours from our days in England,  Skippy and his wife Audrey, live in Piedmont, SD.  They are meeting us in Spearfish this evening, and we are staying at their house tomorrow.  I have a strong feeling there will be drinking involved delays.

    Glad you’re not hiding behind the “limited WiFi” excuse. Friends and booze is the best reason there is.

Origin Story

Plot : Get from Pacific to Atlantic by bike. Cast: Susan and Jeff, Chronologically Gifted. Motivation: The Golden Years do not involve enough pain. Genesis: In early March, 2023, while we were in the family room reading, Susan suddenly and without warning asked "What do you think of riding across the US?" As it happened, at that moment I was thinking that very thing. It wouldn't be the first time in our marriage where I felt as if when she looks at me she sees a self-announcing teleprompter.

Columbia River, just east of Camas.  New Hampshire is out there somewhere We rode along Highway 14.  Terrain leaves few east west options, so we were forced to share the highway. Booking along the Columbia .  Twenty knots on the tail didn't hurt our feelings in the least. There are tunnels . Much steepness into White Salmon .  No way we are doing that without cheating. Fifty-three more miles behind us.   3,255 to go.

After such a grueling day yesterday, we needed a break.  Fewer miles, and nicer weather. Between Umatilla and Cameo Cameo Mansion , that is.  A bougier place to stay. Feeding Us Feeding the Steeds Tomorrow and Beyond Today, near as makes no difference to 30 miles . 3098 to beyond.
