Woke up to a soggy, wet morning. Since we were planning a short day, we took our time breaking our camp and drying things out. We only had a 20 mile ride to Fort Bragg. To our surprise, there were numerous 200 and 300' descents and climbs as we crossed rivers and coves along the coastline. We had not closely reviewed the map and were not mentally prepared for some of the strenuous ascents. We had planned a leisurely day but by the time we found a motel, did laundry, and grocery shopped, the evening had arrived. It ended up being a sunny, beautiful day. We ended up eating a microwave lasagne dinner in the motel and 1 3/4 qt. of Extreme Moose Tracks ice cream.
Updates: Talked to our friend, Connie Greenlaw, and her husband who had the stroke, is still very critical. We continue to pray with Connie that the Lord's will be done but our desire is that John would recover with a qualitative life.
We would also like to update that RE I has offered to reasonably compensate us for the damage they caused in shipping our bikes. We appreciate Kim's (from REI Fort Collins) efforts to correct the mis-packaging job that was done to our bikes.
that's an impressive amount of moose tracks to consume!!! however...you deserve it!!!
