Last night for dinner we had our favorite camp menu: haystacks. just when the beans were hot, the lettuce, avacado and tomato chopped, we could not find our sporks. Since they are our only eating utensils we were concerned. Ron was ready to eat with his fingers or the spatula . . .luckily we found them before he resorted to that.
This blog will share some unimportant things we have learned. There are many dodge pickups on the road and even more empty keystone light beer cans alongside the road. We thinks these two facts may be related.
The small stores along the way have a very poor produce selection but a very good jerky selection.
It is a bad sign to see "snow chain up area ahead" or " rough road ahead". We luckily have not seen " road closed". Our favorite signs are " downgrade next 10 miles" and "summit". Ron is still looking for "free beer ahead".
We agree that this trip is not about the number of miles. Ron believe it is about the number of meals.
We are in a hotel room watching the rain. Again we were blessed since the rain only caught us coming into town. Thanks to our faithful friends who are ptaying for our weather.
This was another day with miles of climbing. It looks like tomorrow maybe more flat. . . but we have been fooled before!

I totally love your unimportant details. Those details are making your trip memorable. Your blog post is a great way for you to keep record of this adventure of yours as well as share it with all of us. We remember going through Wyoming and thinking they would have great steaks here but the ones we bought were tough! LOL Lots of cow pie too in the streets. Tell Ron I think the meals are valuable memories too. Safe travels for you on the holiday.
We drove back along 101 from our friend's cabin on the Washington coast today and saw a lot of bikers with packs and rain jackets and though of you two. Glad you aren't riding here where it's been very rainy! (and we agree that the Dodge trucks and Keystone Light cans are probably related)

Great observations! At least it seems you've preserved your sense of humor. (Glad you found the sporks; the "visual" of Ron eating like caveman was overwhelming! Ha) Keep up your spirits. Glad you're not getting "soaked."
