June 27 I was lighting the cook stove. As I got started I noticed a bunch of mosquitoes gathered around the burner. I quick lit it and fried the little demons. Gave me great joy!
We saw a momma bear with three cubs today eating away next to the road. Cliff whistled and they all stood to attention as I took their picture. Really cute.
Roads are mostly gravel and oil with lots of big gravel. Causes lots of vibration which coming up through the handle bars causes lots of hand fatigue and neck pain. My mirror is on my helmet and usually it is shaking so much it is useless to see anything behind me.
I must be getting stronger. When we started I would see a big hill coming and I would say, "oh cow poopie" and then my heart would start racing and fear and trembling would fill me. Now when I see a big hill coming I say "I think I can do this one without getting under 6 mph" and if I went down to 5 mph I would say "oh cow poopie," or something like that.
