Yesterday, went 61 miles. It was not as dusty but a lot more rocky and challenging. I made it up all but one really rocky ridge. I stalled it and Michael came and got it. I knew he could get it up to the top and everyone was standing around watching. I would have just flipped it over it was so steep. He even stalled it and they had to lift it over one 12 inch lip. I didn't feel quite so bad after that. We rode hard through trees and valleys, next to lakes and through creeks. I'm one man's new hero. It really isn't as hard as they think to ride on three wheels.
Today, I rode to the top of a mountain with antennas and watched roads and other riders. I read my book and talked on the radio. Three people rode to the top and we visited. They were not with the Geo caching group but knew how to look and had a GPS. I gave them some coordinates and they found the cache, then I gave them a few more. Before I sent them on their way the man asked if I wanted his gun, since I was up on the mountain by myself. I wasn't scared or worried, I had 2 radios, cell phone, food, drinks, sunscreen ( I forgot to use, now I'm burned) and protection from the rain. Mike and John came to get me when the rain and thunder started. We went back to the dinner point and I got to SPLASH!!! through the Sevier River. It was great. I was soaked. Dinner was great, they cooked it and now I'm doing some laundry.
Love and miss you all, be home soon, mom
