Thanks George. Somehow I've been lucky enough to never have a cold on a bike tour until now. It seems to be winding down now, hopefully.

Thanks, Bob. I think the cold is almost over now. Today was the least-worst day so far

Thanks, Babs!

Thanks, John. Do you remember Rich Haubert? He would leave me in the dust. Crazy long days, and usually stealth camped. I don't think he's toured in a while, though.

Haha, thanks. I've lost enough chub now that it fits right.

I stayed at a boring traditional cheap motel instead, although the Clown Motel, despite problem being a tourist trap, was better located.

Thanks, Toni!

I guess this is what you get when you take "the road less travelled"....

what a strange art installation!

looks like a Kona cruiser!

Jeff, I generally don't like reading people's bike blogs, but I do yours! It's almost like having a conversation with you, except only one of us is talking. And I love all the quirky things you take photos of. And I love the one of you in your TransAm jersey, and the Kona Brewpub Longboard jersey. Good luck on your trip, and I wish I could keep up--it would be fun to join you on a trip since Wil doesn't ride a bike on the road anymore (worsening eyesight!) Aloha from the Friesens!

Have a safe and enjoyable ride to Ely.
You are truly in the Big Empty.

It looks like that jersey is fitting you better than when you left Morro Bay 😜.

Can I safely camp at the Blue Jay rest area though? Is that what you did before? It seems very visible from the road.

I thought you told me that you did stop at Warm Springs, and got in the pool, right? But then I guess you rode on to Blue Jay?

I'd really like to know if I can filter water at Warm Springs just in case - did you do that?
