Ride Day 11 This morning we climbed out of the tent into a 33-degree morning after a night of robust winds and coyote songs. Throughout the night the tent had felt like it might collapse, but the manufacture’s declaration that it was safe in winds up to 50 mph must be true after all, because it held fast. The Bob got the water boiling for our mandatory pre-ride coffee, and in short order we were all huddled together in the glow of brilliant, early-morning sunlight drinking camp coffee and shivering uncontrollably. Breakfast consisted of Cream of Wheat or oatmeal, both of which taste like heaven when camping. After breakfast we broke down camp like a better-oiled machine than the morning before, and then off we went to commence the day’s ride
I feel a bit sheepish because I was dreading a 9 hour saga of flights to get from NC to WA for a conference. I am sure that you two have me beat as far as exertion and fun. I am still moving forward with my goal to help as many Veterans get into agriculture as possible. Mainly for the rehabilitation that nature can provide but also because I do not believe that mobility should block this industry. So I am joining other like minded souls at the AgrAbility conference in Spokane to vent and cajole the powers that be. Best wishes today on your journey I will think of you guys as I fly over. :-)
