Today was better. I was riding along, minding my own business, in fact, I was composing The Alphabetical Index of Road Waste, when I noticed that there was an antelope standing next to the fence on the side of the freeway. I stopped and took its picture. Then it snorted and ran away. It had a big white tuft of fur on its rear end.
So This is where The Antelope Play.
Maybe I should organize the guide to roadside detritus by color categories instead.

From Peter:
The country is really, really big!!!! It is an outrageous experience to spend hours climbing up to the top of a pass and turn around and look back at what you just rode across. When you see mountains in the distance behind you, and in front of you, it is difficult to embrace that you just rode from horizon to horizon... and that you have been doing it for nearly 26 days!
Have you ever had to make a life and death decision related to the poop tube on an RV? While dumping the effluence from our support RV into a truck stop tank today, the coupling to the RV broke off and I had to reach "into the flow" to shut off the valve. It was horrifying to say the least... but I had to "take one for the team" and stem the tide! At least I had wimpy gloves on. After this harrowing incident I dove into a truck stop pay shower to detox.
I am always entertained and amazed when I read your blog! You both are so inspriational.
ReplyDeleteThank you- we just keep going one day at a time
ReplyDeleteOh, Peter! How absolutely horrifying. I don't know if a shower can detox that.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so amazing!!! And as I am on my concurrent fit challenge while you are away, I will report that I have lost 4 pounds and 3 inches. It is not quite as big as 4 states, but I am with you in some measure of suffering for glory! Thinking of and praying for you often!
