And definitely without a cause.

Thanks! You'll have the Slim Whitman earworm embedded for a few days. And the impossible-to-unsee visual of me lip syncing Mr. Whitman.

You're a rebel!

Fantastic video!! I'm going to watch it again right now.

A sign like that just makes me want to go down that road.

Yes it was great. And that guy was more prolific than your peeps if he was being truthful. But I suspect he was pretty hammered.

Hooray for no winds, pleasant temps, cinnamon rolls and good food! 37 kids, huh?!

Thanks Debbie! Bicycle touring definitely takes mental fortitude and I'm glad my desk job helped prepare me to stick with it out here!

You are a brave women! I am impressed every time I read your posts. Not many of us have the dedication and guts it takes to actually take on such a feat. If you have the mental fortitude to take on the tangle and “stupidness” of samples financials, you can tackle anything! I love your affirmation, Elkhart would be dazzled.

That's it! The uphills are uphill, the flats are uphill, and the downhills are uphill when you're riding in headwinds.

Thanks for reading and for your support!

The thing about headwinds is that it is like going up a neverending hill. You struggle and struggle but never reach the top. It csn really suck the joy out of you while it blows. Glad things seem to be improved today. Thanks for honest sharing of your voyage. The Dodie half of The Grampies

Thanks Steve! The fun generally outweighs the moments of despair. And it's pretty cool that ordinary things like a field of cows can be entertaining and fascinating.

Thanks for the encouragement and support!

Yuck.

Cool old trucks!

I appreciate the honesty of this post. It's not all fun and glamour, I'm sure! I feel like we humans are pretty tied to routine, and your routines are all completely different now. I imagine that can be difficult at times to deal with.
