So I woke up alive this morning, or so they have let me believe. My relocation last night having obviously subverted the towns plans for me. Thanks to my advanced survival training and some sheets to hide under. I moved quickly and stealthily through the motel room, quickly gathering my things before being seen (except…
If you remember from back at Bazine, KS, one of our tent poles broke. The little coupler between the sections broke clean, Ahhh tempered aluminum. No big deal we were 2 days out of Salina were we would pick up a car and run back to Denver. There are plenty of REI’s there to get’r…
So I get into Winsor right about sunset, Beautiful little town all the lawns kept up, plenty of room and trees, houses with Victorian architecture. Pass the entrance to the Katy. I’ve been looking forward to getting here and I had a shower waiting for me to boot, good times… or were they? Followed the…
Alarm went off at 7 am as usual, picked up camp quickly to avoid any neighbors realizing there is a vagrant next door. Moved everything over to the picnic tables and proceeded to set up the computer to pay some bills. Technical issues ensued and caused me to shake my fists in the air once…
Alarm went off at 7 am, I know it’s not very early, whatever. Took forever to get camp picked up and food cooked. Hit the road about 9am. 1.5 miles into the ride I stopped at the grocery store for some more carbs and a nice cold drink of milk. While I was eating my…
10 August, 2009 Slept great in the back of the “camper”. Was woken by the alarm at 7am and got right on the road… after a little MickyD’s breakfast. Paid for that all day. Arrived at the rental car place at 9 am, right on schedule. Repacked my bags, hung them on the bike and…
8-9 august, 2009 The days’ activities were suppose to be logistics, visiting and resting before Cyndy headed back to Sacramento for a couple of weeks of reality. So we needed to get Cyndy’s bike packed and going to Niagara Falls and make our way to Denver. Scurried out first thing on Saturday and packed the…
7 August, 2009 Today is the beginning of a transition for our tour. As most of you know Cyndy was not able to get the time off to complete the full tour so she needs to be back in Sacramento on Monday for work. So we rented a car and will be back tracking to…
After watching the weather channel for four and a half hours and with checkout time looming, we decided to take the plunge, perhaps literally. By the time we got under way it was a little after 11 am. Although the ground was still covered in puddles, we stayed dry thanks to our tire fenders and…
Well, was it the early alarm or the lightening and thunder that awoke us? So much for beating the wind and making the dash towards Salina. So, rolled back over and kept one eye on the weather channel. We are so thankful that we are not in a tent right now as it is pouring…
