ok – hopefully now we’re going to be getting back in the groove. It’s been a spotty couple of days, mostly because of this nasty sinus cold i picked up. We spent a day holed up in a motel trying to recover. I’m feeling better, but It’s been pretty off and on the whole time. Anyway, We’ve made it to idaho, and joined up with the main adventure cycling cross country route that mike and i did, so hopefully we’ll start seeing other cyclists. The oregon desert wasn’t too bad except for me being sick. There was a stretch of 112 miles with only one place to get water, but we were prepared for that. What we didn’t think about was 112 miles with maybe 4 spots of shade. There was just nowhere to take a break! We had lunch in the gravel on the side of the road! Cars passed us like every 20 minutes. Anyway, we’re out of the great basin and heading into the mountains. Hooray for trees!
