They raised a fair amount of money - which is excellent news for the local charities. So glad Sweden was there and Chile - you couldn't get two countries much further apart. <br /><br />Cheers - it's all good fun ... and we enjoy your posts and your photos - mind you Faith does a pretty good job too ... has Samson handed the mantle over to Faith ... thinking about you ..

Loved your pictures. What fun it would be to bike in that area. Although I am afraid that I would never make it. I am constantly reminded how my grief has changed the way I live. We just need to go with the flow of it and we WILL come out on the other side.

Some cyclists obey traffic rules, they are vehicles and must obey, but not every one does here either. We had a meeting with a Hwy Patrol Officer who came to talk about biker safety. It did not go well. Bikers were very upset with drivers and vice versa. Some angry driver drove a truck into the port-a-potties at the canyon rest stop at night and turned over one and messed up the other two. So lots of bad blood it seems. But the bikers we met were very polite, thanked us, and seemed to appreciate our help.

Most of the locals hate it. The Sheriff's department closes off both lanes of the roads they use. There is a five hour period where the only way I can get in or out of my property is to use an old forest service trail where I have to ford two deep creeks!<br /><br />The bikers are not popular because in the fall, many of them come up and they ride four abreast, blocking our roads, and won't get over. I'm glad your set up is better and the bikers seem to be better behaved.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-39249953577766004592015-09-20T16:10:34.199-07:002015-09-20T16:10:34.199-07:00Good to see you getting more involved.

I can tell that you greatly appreciated it to the max. Those wonderful CERT folks need to be fit for cycling 100 miles.<br />Those wind turbines are just amazing. There are so many of them and though they might make noise, they are clean energy. <br /><br />You're doing so well adjusting to living alone. The emotional roller coster that you're riding now is all part of the healing process healing and little by little you'll get emotionally stronger. Mourning is a lonely process like fighting cancer.<br /><br />I'm glad that this event came along to break the monotony and that you have Samson and Faith for companionship,<br />Have a great day.<br />Hugs,<br />JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-33045119188467092582015-09-20T05:36:35.663-07:002015-09-20T05:36:35.663-07:00Fantastic Inger!
