I wish you had said something about the steam engines earlier. Someplace back closer to Seattle I passed about 40 old engines and cares. Some had to be from mid 1800s. Some probably from mines. I don’t think I took pics as I was suffering and just needed to get the day done but I’ll check.

AND how is "Clunk" the knee holding up or has your skinny, no padding butt focused your attention away from this body part "upgrade" ??

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast .... enjoy the climb up and HOLD ON for the ride down (hmm, I think that might apply to many of life's challenges). I and many others appreciate you taking pics of "old" buildings. Now if you can find a steam locomotive or two :-) !

Hi Tim, l hope the break gives your backside a chance to heal and also restores you mentally. I really appreciate you taking the time at the end of each day to summarize and provide background. You are a good man!

Love Kellogg

Q: Tell me what you call an “ADVENTURE” …
Moe: Going skiing in Colorado
Curly: Traveling to Europe
Larry: Bungee jumping
Shemp: Getting married … again
Tim: Hold my beer ….

Love this picture!

😂😂😂

I am enjoying the pics and the blog. Cheers!

Glad to help.

Hi Timothy, I was looking at this exact route from Seattle to Missoula but this year isn’t quite working out. I will watch you scout it for me for when I ride it in the future ;-). Karen

Great story! Keep it one pedal at a time!

Improvise/Adapt/OVERCOME !!!!!

Can’t believe you have energy and wit left to write all this….but sure glad you do. Love hearing about your tales and tail!!

Beautiful scenery! Inspiring. And your writing is top notch. Not too long, not too short and fun to read. Well it could be that knowing I was going to be out in that neck of the woods (some miles north) I’m living vicariously through your adventure. Pedal on! Things will get easier.
