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!
3 years agoHaha. 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.
3 years agoDid you pick it up?
3 years agoTwice as many sizes as the Crescent wrench!
3 years agoThanks, Bill. I always enjoy your comments on the flora and the fauna :)
3 years agoI 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.
3 years agoMy 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.
3 years agoI 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!
3 years agoNice shot of the tiger swallowtail!

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.
