I'd worry that I'd gotten ahold of some peyote or something if I ran across that in the desert.

The horror, indeed. Even Mr. Kurtz would have come up with something more horrible than "the horror" after hearing that.

Wait til you see my upper arm area toward the end of this journal. Almost as gross as Jen's leg wound.

When I was there is was Celine Dion. The horror.

I sleep much better knowing that your bike was thoroughly inspected by our authorities. Who knows what nefarious scheme a cyclist from Minnesota might concoct in the American desert?

Hello Team Racpat. I'm glad to see you here on Cycleblaze and thanks for checking out this journal. Sometimes I think it's almost impossible to choose a favorite bike tour, just as a parent could never choose a favorite child. But I'm going to go out on a limb and choose this one over all my others. I just love the desert.

Gregory Garceau replied to a comment by Adam Zamora on THE GRAND SWEEPING CONCLUSION: And A Less-Than-Grand Map of My Final Route

My arm held on for a few weeks after the tour, but then it fell off. I'll be OK, though. I'm a tough guy.

But really, despite the appearance of the wound, it really didn't hurt much. I've shown that picture to lots of friends and relatives and they get all grossed-out over it. It even makes ME sick to look at it. But honestly, after the initial jolt, there was very little pain. A nurse I know proposed the theory that the bolt cut right through the nerves--hence, only numbness. I don't know. I also don't know why gallons of blood weren't flowing. Just lucky, I guess.

I am a year late it appears in wishing you well, but I'm glad your son is doing okay.

Also I hope your arm is still attached... geez. Ouch!

Nice to hear from you again, Adam. I think I laughed out loud for at least a minute after reading your comment--not because you lost your life savings on a B.I.E. degree, but because it was just plain funny.

I wish I would have read this entry before spending all that money on my Bicycle Institute of Engineering degree...

True. Imagine my embarrassment if somebody had seen me sleeping in a tent with mis-matched duct tape on one of the poles.

Duct tape was going to be our suggestion. Impressive that you have matching red.
