Wow, what a wonderful shot.

You must enjoy sardines. Your pics have made me go out and buy some!

Hi Jeff, once again I have finally caught up with you ;’-). Traveling by van/RV with bikes, and trying to keep my journal up to date is a real task. I applaud you again for doing such a fantastic job of doing that when on such an epic bike tour. Of course I am so sorry you have been struggling with a cold, and surely hope it is much better for continued journey. You sure did end up choosing the perfect place to help recuperating at the right campground. Hoping all it better with you. Nancy

Nice photos Jeff. You may be behind in writing, but I am way behind in reading!! Busy traveling, but more because little to bad wifi connection in most places. I will catch up again at some point. I admire your willingness and time us to keep your journal as well as you do. Good going Jeff!

Nice size cabin

Jeff, Deb from Three Toes Campground. Loren and I loved having you here and please come back any time. The bathrooms and showers will be done by then I am sure.

Love your journal and will be following you along your journey. Glad you are feeling better and that the weather cooled off for you. God Bless

PS, you take some great photos!

Ah, the heart attack... Yeah, it was a surprise to me. I always ate better nutrition than the average person because I was a skinny, uncoordinated fumblemouth kid and wanted to get stronger. Still that little kid inside! My Cardiologist told me that if I'd not eaten like I did, I would likely have had the heart attack 15 or 20 years earlier. He also said that if I had not been a distance runner and cycle commuter (12 miles each way) I would likely have died like 90% of the other widowmaker victims do. It was definitely a surprise to everyone. My doctor (who I'd known for years and gone on missions trips with his kids) said "You had a heart attack?! You are the healthiest person I know!" In fact a month before, I ran a 5k in 21:20 (age 64 1/2) and won my age group by a lot. The next summer I ran the same race in about 30 and still won my age group by a lot. My Cardiologist said I was "the 1 in a million that shows anyone can have a heart attack." I have since done lots of online reading of medical journals, etc. and concluded it was stress that caused it. Now, I just turn around and walk away when I see drama starting. I also slightly modified what I eat (my wife already thought I was a fanatic) and exercise more diligently. Lots of cardiac research has happened since then, and I now consume mostly antioxidant and anti inflammatory foods. Turmeric (with a bit of black pepper), ginger, fenugreek, and cocoa powder are a big part of my diet and more evidence of their benefits keeps piling up. Sugar is the worst dietary culprit with refined flour close behind. Tough to do when in a social situation, but I have eaten no candy since 23 Sep 2010. Evidence that it is working... Well I have yet to need a nitro pill... (Gotta refill the expiring pills I'm carrying... again). The day after the heart attack, my cardiologist told me I had 2 partially blocked arteries and I should expect another heart attack within 3 to 5 years, and likely fatal.

All that to say... Keep on exercising and eat high nutrition food and get good rest and avoid stress.

Jeanna,
I'd never even heard of potted meat before I picked up this can. I can see where saltines would help.

I looked that one up just a few days back!

Steve,
Thanks!
Jeff

I wonder what my Commodore 64 might be worth now...

Scott,
Thanks.
He was walking along above my map. He finally moved over to the country area, where the map is blank.
Jeff

Kathleen,
Only during bike trips am I able to finish meals this size.
Jeff
