Let the games begin..... I was feeling good about myself and we heard of some one riding from Argentina to Alaska and I did not feel so cool!
Day 7- We made it to the Alaska Highway. Long day trying to make up for our wrong turn yesterday. We got on the road by 8 am and that helped alot. I ran out of gas twice, Jolie told me the next town was closer than it was. The wind was also bad today. Real bad.....
Got to Dawson Creek at about 7pm local time. Still light out at 10pm..... We got frozen dinners at Walmart and Jolie cooked mac and chesse, alfredo and Lasagna. Good meal, full and at our desitination. Jolie says good night!
Day 6 - sam
I didn't write last night because it was one of those days that you wish you could do over. Started out good, but then the wind started. I mean for 50 miles I was riding leaning to the left and actually was run off the road and onto the shoulder. That was real scary. We went over the Medicine Hat (seriously the name) to have lunch /dinner and upon leaving we found out we were about 80 miles (6000 Kilometer - each way). That stinks, but it was part of the country we have never seen. It was nice to have a good A &W meal.
We tried to make our way back on track, but by midnight and literally about 40 degrees. I was frozen. I am smart and put plastic bags on my feet to keep them dry and it turned out to be the opposite and they were frozen... I hopped in the tub and jOlie cooked black beans and rice and I was out.

I haven't left a comment yet but I am reading everyday I promise! How fabulously proud I am of both of you and think that individually you guys are kick ass folks but together- you are unstoppable. Leaving in 2 days to head on our big adventure (you know- 3.5 kids in a minivan) to Michigan where I will drive Bethy to the library and I know she will devour your blog with as much love as I am. I love you guys- be careful- PS Your pics are beautiful and when you come home you have to email me the picture of you both under the rainbow b/c I think I want it on my frig for the rest of my life...xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you both for sharing, what an incredible trip (love the photos) -ricardo & mandy
ReplyDeleteYou both rock. Deb and I are enjoying the ride. Be safe and watch the moose, their a little sketchy.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Been out of town myself (North Carolina) and just did a marathon catching up with the adventure. Great photos. Love the drama and excitement you include in your narrative. I'm feeling sorry for Sam on the bike with cold feet and Jolie in the car by herself. Can't wait to read the next chapter.
