Nancy,
As you know by now, I'm over my cold and continuing on. Thanks for all your kind comments.
Jeff
Deb,
Thanks!
The rest I was able to get at your campground, and your kindness played a big part in helping me get well.

My tough guy-ness is mostly in my head, and I've made it part of my schtick. In contrast, Jeff doesn't have to brag about being a tough guy because anybody reading this journal can see he is the real deal.
1 year agoUh huh...No problem! :)
1 year agoA real work of art.
1 year agoIncredible. Doesn’t look like it could be real.
1 year agoI’ve been thinking about you as I was reading this, Greg. I’d never heard of this park before, but now I really want to see it someday.
And you’re right about Jeff’s remarkable fearlessness. I think you may need to cede your claim to being the toughest guy on the site.
You don't see petrified logs like that very many places.

1 year agoYour journal is reminding me why the badlands and grasslands in and around Theodore Roosevelt National Park are some of my favorite places to ride. In addition, I must say your entire tour has been a great adventure. I know many of the roads in the Great Plains, and I can remember how remote they can be and how hot it can get out there, with almost no shade--then I see you opting for even MORE remote roads. You are fearless . . . and I'm impressed.
1 year agoYou make it sound so easy, but that was a long day!
1 year agoIt was SO NICE To meet you, Jeff. I am finally getting a chance to get caught up on your travels!! Wishing you the best and hope the cold is better!! I have been thinking about you with all the rain we had and sent up a few "bullet prayers" for you!! I will keep checking in on you!! Jodi-the Uhaul gal!

I feel better about you having an extra wheel to replace the cracked one! Seems you are taking the right time or layover days — fo your health repeat, and for the weather. So glad you are doing well again.

Mike,
1 year agoI like the King Oscar brand the best. Though I'm not allowed to eat sardines in front of my wife.
