On a brighter side, a kind man and his 9 year old son bought and brought us dinner tonight. He works loading grain onto barges but loves to bike. He also gave us a new spare tube since Zion had a flat today. He actually had 2 punctures, one from a nail still in the tire and one from a thorn. They must have happened within minutes of each other because it wasn't until we were working on the tire that we found the nail.
I also contemplated changing routes but will press on with the northern route in spite of the cooler weather we will face.
You Christensens are so inspiring! Woo-hoo!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen you get discouraged by others, while they are talking, keep thinking of where you have come from and all that you have overcome! Then make funny faces at them in your mind :)
ReplyDeletePray, pray, pray for those people! Kelley reminds me of this often about negative people. It is truly about themselves, and not about you. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the adventures you've had. Keep on pedaling and sending updates!
