"I stopped along the trail to take a video, or maybe it was a wiz, who can remember?" Mr. Grumby - The Revolution Starts Now - June 23, 2023
There is obviously stiff competition as to who is the real philosopher on this here website!
I'm glad you're not quiting. I need the vicarious adventure. Great photos and happy you have some company.
1 year agoKiwis have the best sense of humor, in my humble opinion. After day 288 of dysentery while exploring Asia in the 70's the Kiwis always kept me in good humor.
1 year agoYou can pull this sight from your memory bank and fixate on it when you are about 50 miles north of Antelope Wells, N.M. It will help you.
1 year agoYou've got lots of time so I can't understand why you aren't photoshopping those power lines out!
1 year agoIt doesn't get any better than this!! I keep thinking you found that guy who has the photo studio out there, and has a variety of enormous backdrops.
1 year agoso if my math is correct, which i totally doubt, and considering I am guessing your tires diameter at 36 inches. So in a mile, the tire would rotate 1760 time and so then you multiply it by 2680 miles you are going to be doing. My math came out to 4,716,800 rotations total.

I agree. There's nothing like the baffling philosophy of Langur Studies™ to keep one traveling for baffling reasons.
Also, the Swainson's thrush song is so evocative of high-country hikes in Montana, it's the absolute perfect soundtrack for what you are doing.
Glad to hear you okay and have gotten over wanting to quit. It’s good you have traveling companions!
1 year agoHow great!
1 year agoJust think. All that swirl up there used to be sea floor. What a world we live in.
1 year agoNice touch starting your post with a quote from a fine philosopher.
1 year agoI'm glad the griz haven't gotten you yet and that you found some cool people to ride with!

I just came back to this journal to see if there were any updates from Mr. Grumby, or if any of his Oregon-based Cycleblaze friends and/or super-supportive wife had commented as to his whereabouts. No such luck. I hope that just means a lack of internet access out there in the wilderness, and not a grizz encounter.
