after two well deserved days off we went back at it again today...very hot but with a breeze and a high cloud haze...23.8 miles with 45,125 steps...booty for the day: 1 1" "C" clamp, 1 toonie, 1 quarter, 2 dimes and 4 pennies...a special thanks out to Daryl from Del Bonita for the 3 gallons of gas and the use of the restroom, kindness of strangers...flat country out here, a very sharp contrast to the last two months in BC, a harbinger for the next 603 miles across Montana...no great words of wisdom today, just mother nature and the third prairie level...cheers!!!
