Sunday May 29, a walk to church

Hike along Skagit River
https://ridewithgps.com/trips/91650205
Sunday was supposed to be a rainy day so we planned to take a rest day and are spending 2 nights in the cabin pictured below. We slept in until 7:00, then had a bagged salad and tortillas and cheese for breakfast.  The following is our walk along the Skagit River.  The water is a pretty bluish-green color.  


The mountains around us were draped in clouds.  Our walk took us to Inspire Church, a joyful body of fellow believers.  We were blessed singing songs of praise and hearing the sermon from Phillipians on joy even in midst of struggle.   Our bodies were also nourished as they had a meal afterwards of tasty hamburgers.   We have spent this rainy day planning for the next few days.  Tuesday June 1 will be  challenging as will be going over a 5477 foot pass.

    We are praying for you as you face that huge pass! You can do it! Love the photos and knowing you are safe and well and seem to be enjoying the beauty of it all. You will have so many new friends and memories!

    Our kids used to have an LP record with the song, "One Step at a Time" ... Could change that to "One Peddle Stroke at a Time." So glad God brought you to worship with Inspire Church.

Sep 21. Heading Home, Part 3

Image
  As predicted, we didn't get any rain last night and because of a little bit longer day, we got started a little sooner.                    Packing Up at Fort Custer  We had beautiful roads lined with hickory, maple, oak and walnut trees especially during the first part of our ride, which sometimes led to a challenge dodging all the nuts and acorns on the side of the road.  We had a bit more traffic today than many other days even though we tried to choose quieter roads.  We also had a moderate head wind so that slowed us down a bit.   Wouldn't you know it--we had a flat tire less than 10 miles from home!  We still arrived well before sunset.

Dreams and preparation

Traverse City July 2021.  Ride around northern half of  Lake Michigan. We  have dreamed about crossing the  country on bikes for many years.   Work, parenting and other things has prevented us from this  adventure.  This  year we are  working toward making it a  reality.  We have  gotten work figured out that we can be away for  a  number of months.   We now have our tickets purchased for the train ride to Seattle, some new gadgets purchased and multiple hours spent looking at routes.

June 21 Tuesday Miles City to Glendive, MT

https://ridewithgps.com/trips/94180454 Today after a breakfast with food that we got at Walmart last night, we got an early start as had a bit longer distance to Glendive. It was cool and cloudy so, although we started off wearing shorts, we had a lot more clothes on top plus gloves. Today was another day of following the Yellowstone River Valley. We headed out on the old road leading out of Miles City which was very smooth and straight and low traffic and even had a mild tailwind. The first sunlight we saw was lighting up some of the hills on the other side of the valley, while we were under a cloud cover. Farms along the road did a lot of irrigation. Saw a number of historical plaques talking about trains, past military campaigns, and management of the range for effective use of it. Stopped in a small town called Terry, named after General Terry. While Jim stopped at the post office, Kay went past it to check out the church building beyond and it was a Presbyterian Church.  She m
