So, just for laughs, I thought it would be fun to list the reasons why occasionally Nate and I have slacker mileage days...
*late nights at the local bars
*tick infestations
*we are extremely slow packers and sunscreen applicators
*sleeping in is quite lovely in a tent
*hellish headwinds
*we like to eat (apparently now this includes eating turkey and gelatinous gummy bears too)
And, with regards to deliberation, we have been loosely calculating time/miles, realizing that it might be wishful thinking to think we could get all the way to San Francisco by the end of August. So, originally, we thought we could take the Amtrak down some of the coast, but are now considering another option... taking the Amtrak TO the coast so that we can enjoy the Pacific Coast Trail as well as take time to have quality visits with friends along the way.
And so, there may be a great leap in locations for the next posting... and it's not because we are super-speedy bikers!

I'd be opting for taking the Amtrak TO the coast and enjoying biking down the coast! I has to be beautiful! AND scenery while on the train would be beautiful also as you go through the mountains! :) Enjoy
yourselves whatever you do! You are
truly AMAZING! As to food - Becky said when she worked at camp, she was always hungry and ate things she never ate at home! That's what a TON of exercise does to you!
Dad said he thinks Montana is bigger than North Dakota thus Amtrak may be a great idea! He said he never could correctly figure the miles you had to ride! :) Stay safe and well!
