Our internet access while we crossed the White Mountains, Green Mountains and Adirondacks had been intermittent, but I suspect that won't be much of a problem for us from here to St. Louis. The terrain will mostly be flat and low rollers - places where a cell signal can travel a considerable distance.
It was my turn to ride today for the 41 miles to Fair Haven Beach State Park ($29, power and showers). We got a late start due to the rain. There were still intermittent showers once I hit the road, but at least it was fairly warm. The clouds finally cleared away around 1 pm, and it was muggy and in the low 80s when we rolled into the campground an hour or so later.
Summer means that it is road construction season, so we will no doubt find our share of such roads over the next few months. This morning included several miles riding on pavement that had been ground up in preparation for overlaying fresh asphalt. But it wasn't a bad ride, as traffic was fairly light. I suspect we will see a lot of this sort of thing over the next few weeks.
A former co-worker at Valley General Hospital in Renton, WA contacted me recently, Sandy Engstrom. My 1985 cross country bicycle tour included an overnight stay with her and her family, as her husband had been assigned to work at The Bon in Boise, ID. I think we both thought it was a little ironic that I eventually moved there. It certainly wasn't on my list of places to return to after I had past through that year.
