Today started out rainy and mid 40s. It rained off and on most of the day. I hate riding in the rain. Put on the arm and leg warmers and the raincoat, get rained on, climb up hill, sweat, get wetter, it's not comfortable.
My ankle/heel whatever it is felt really bad this morning. Looked as bad as it felt, too. But as the day went on, it actually started to feel better. I am definitely icing it all evening.
I have met a biking partner, and she and I have been keeping up with each other for the last several days. Her name is Karen; she is a teacher from Alaska. She is completing the Missoula - Astoria section of the trail, as she did the Yorktown - Missoula portion a few years ago. We start out in the morning together, and usually meet up at the end of the day.
Tonight I am staying in Tillamook, Oregon and today as the last 'IT'S ALL GOOD IN DELAWARE' DAY!

Jeff!!! Fantastic! "O Joy O Joy" said Lewis or Clark. What an incredible feat (feet?)! I hope that your bones, tendons, muscles, and girlfriend all survive and recover from what your spirit expects of them. I'm heading down to the Snowy Range for a goat packing trip early Thursday morning, so I ACK! won't be able to see your FINAL DAY comments as they are posted. BUT, know that I'll be thinking of you all day! WOW, what an adventure! I'll check in when I get back next week, and you let me know if you're ever around Wyoming again. I'll take you on a goat packing trip where all you'll have to do is sit around and eat chocolate and fish..... I'm very proud to know you. Wow. Jewel
