David Groth is an active host on WarmShowers who lives in Coeur d'Alene and is on the board of the North Idaho Centennial Trail Foundation. Super nice guy. You might contact him through WarmShowers to see what he might know about if the hole is still there.

I"m looking at your map and wondering if the hole in the fence is still there. Is David a local rider, to check on current conditions? We are there in a few days. Thanks for any help.

The P38 is rock solid. I had no trouble with it on this tour or since. It'll be my ride for a two-month trip up the Atlantic coast this spring. As for the sealant, I'm a believer. I've had zero flats on this bike with the slime in the tubes. Barry is not such a fan. We both had sealant in our Bike Friday tires in Europe last fall and had a few flats, likely because the tires were too worn. He didn't enjoy the mess when he had to patch them up. I had not heard of TPU tubes until you asked. I haven't seen anything about them being more puncture proof, would be interested in any intel you have.

This was a really good try out for your belt drive P-38. What is the verdict? Also, how about those Slime filled tires? Yay or nay? Has Barry seen anything on TPU tubes? I don't care so much about the weight, but if they are more puncture resistant AND light weight, that is interesting.

Hi Genny. I'm so excited for you. It's an amazing ride. The jersey is a M or L, can't remember which but I can check when we get home in a couple weeks. Email me your address to jbranham99 at gmail.com and I'll be happy to send it to you.

Hi, my friend Kelly Iniguez sent me a link to this pg of your journal. Stunning! And I am hoping to ride Going to the Sun on June 13th, if the stars align correctly and it is open to bikes only on that date. IAC, I would be interested in your Jersey if it is a women’s M or L and, of course, would then pass it along to the next lucky gal. Let me know. Genny

Thank you Suzanne! I was glad to read your comments in the intro to your grand tour about the challenge of keeping up the journal while on the road. It's so difficult some days. I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for taking us along to the many wonderful places I will never be able to visit myself. Great pictures and writing!

Great synopsis of the tour!

Thank you Andrea. It really is such a gorgeous area. I'm happy we could spend some time here.

Thanks Bill. We enjoyed reading all of your botanical references.

Sweet story Andrea. That's a powerful place.

¡Estamos muy emocionados!

You really had a great trip through beautiful country. Thanks for bringing us along.

I was ten days overdue with my daughter and people were giving all sorts of suggestions to start labor. A quiet walk in "The Cedars", as we called them, was the ticket. A place very dear to my heart.
