Jeff Lee replied to a comment by Steve Miller/Grampies on Man Flu

Sorry about that! I finally got around to uploading all the photos to this five-year-old journal yesterday, which is why it was showing up on the front page of CycleBlaze.

I just randomly popped on to this page, and was reading about your "flu" with growing Covid alarm. Then it dawned on me to check the date. Phew!

Haha. I don't remember, but I doubt it. We were already carrying more tools on this trip than I ever would carry on a solo bike tour. Joy is much more concerned about being able to handle unlikely mechanical problems than I am.

Twice as many sizes as the Crescent wrench!

Thanks, Bill. I always enjoy your comments on the flora and the fauna :)

I was told by a Santa Fe native that this restaurant has the best Mexican food in the state. It was closed when I bicycled past also.

My pie baking skills are almost non existent, haha. Joy could totally do it... I'll pass along your suggestion to her. BUT: I don't think she would agree to move to New Mexico, after our strenuous trip there :)

I have all the narrative (text) for that journal loaded, but I only have the first 21 days of photos uploaded. I'm slowly but surely adding them.

Unfortunately I created the journal during that tour using the Medium blogging website, and it's not easy to extract the photos from it.

How are your pie baking skills?

Secret - the pies pies use lard in the crust - cholesterol be damned! I'm bing reading your journal as we speak . . . .

Aw, that's too bad :(

According to their website, it's for sale: https://pieoneer.com/hours/

Maybe someone could make a go of it.

The cafe has now closed, a victim of COVID. I never got to eat pie there . . .

I definitely think the umbrella was worth taking. The foldable camp chairs we carried were also useful several times. But on my tours since this one, I've carried less stuff, and I don't need the front panniers anymore.

I purchased an umbrella to use on the Utah/Grand Canyon trip, but was shamed out of taking it. I should have been more like Joy!
