Yes, a view like this always makes us smile.
3 years agoIt's too bad that your trip was cut short, but Mother Nature is always going to have the final word! I'm glad that you are home safely and I know your family is happy to see you again. Do you still have that family reunion on the Cape to attend soon?
Kerry and I have ridden the bike trail at Jim Thorpe. I think that's the place where a train passed right beside the trail as we were riding. It was a cool trail.
It was great meeting you. Come see us in Florida sometime.
Love it

3 years agoHi Jeanna and Kerry. I’ve enjoyed vicarious bike riding as I follow your adventures. Who knew you could bicycle to Jamaica? Haha.
An update: I initially rode from Seattle to Spokane, then to avoid the “heat dome” sort of turned around and rode westward from Minneapolis through North Dakota and Montana. I made it as far as Missoula, where I found myself surrounded by forest fires and smoke, so I decided it was time to end my journey and fly home to New York. Last week my wife and I rode an old fashioned train from Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, off-loaded our bicycles at a stop, then returned via a bike trail. The occasional ride together with your terrific blog helps me not miss the road too much.
Keep those posts and photos coming. Best, Seth
Hi Jeanna and Kerry,
I'm especially enjoying your ride through Iowa - I lived in Ames 30+ years before moving to NC last October. I've done six RAGBRAIs and logged countless miles on the RRVT and the High Trestle Trail. I'm sorry about the inexcusable rudeness you encountered at the closed bridge but you do seem to be experiencing some of the Iowa Nice. Wish I were there to join you on the ride across the bridge and welcome you Ames.
Very good reminder. Simple but it works. People forget we all know that.
