We slept in this morning, having only 34 miles to do today
. We ate in a an old historical house that is now a bead and breakfast and then it was on the road at about 9:00 am. We cycled through fields of potatoes, no acres of potatoes, actually a sea of potatoes. As you can see I'm stuck on old buildings too. The real story is tomorrow, we'll be going into the mountains, the Rockies to be exact and it will be up through the Teton Pass . . . I'm scared.
I shot this picture of the falls from our hotel room window. Not bad huh? In 1982 the river was diverted a bit to provide hydroelectric power to the city and what you are seeing is the spillway over flowing. The water in the river is really high providing the thundering scenery. It's almost deafening when you walk outside.
With all the water everywhere you're going, do you think you can make some arrangements to enhance San Diego's water woes? Perhaps divert a little to Southern California?
ReplyDeleteTomorrow will be a huge challenge, but from my armchair, I have the utmost faith in your strength and ability! Like you've said before, this is the time when I bet you keep your eyes on the ground!
Best of luck,
Guess who!
Ok Dad, you can do this!! I'll be thinking of you today as you make the climb. Stay strong and be safe. Love you.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to hearing your story tonight. I'm sure it will be a long day, but I'm sure if you take your time it won't be too bad.
