Me on a bicycle versus the USA: The end of round 1:: the start of round 2

For the last couple weeks I have been poor about keeping up with delivering events that happened during that time.

July 9th was the last day i rode. Since then I have been in 5 states: nebraska( where I left off riding), Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho.

What was I doing for so long??? Taking a breather from riding- hanging out having fun and catching up with family. Thank you Uncle Lee!

Thanks to uncle lee I was able to visit my cousins jake and Katie, meet their friends and more family, spend time making memories with Uncle Scott and Aunt Jenny, and meet a bunch of new people- all at the same time. The cool part is just being here in coeur d Alene, Idaho in the summer time. The last time I can remember being here in the summer was over 16 years ago. Where does the time go?

The breakdown of events is:

July 10- get picked up from Kearney, Nebraska by uncle lee and drive to Fort Collins, CO.

July 11- kept driving, stayed in Big Timber, MT. Visited Marilyn Monroe at the Thirsty Turtle. Good grub!

July 12- arrive in Couer d Alene, ID.

July 13- pack up and get gear ready to camp and raft down the lower salmon river and part if he snake river.

July 14 & 15- on the river having fun and making memories.

July 16- relax back in Couer d Alene

July 17- boated, wake boarded, waterskiied & paddle boarded on the lake

July 18- on the Clark fork river with Everyone. Don and mark swam tumbleweed rapid after flipping Dons cataract raft. Serious enough rapid not to flip.

July 19- relaxed, par 3 golf w/ lee, James, & jake. 160 yd drive with a putter. , overshooting the Green about 20 yards. (Yes, there were witnesses!)

July 20- rafted te Clark fork again. This one I went swimming in the Tumbleweed rapid. That was exiting.

So I don't have many pictures to include here except a couple from riding the Hiawatha trail in Montana on uncle Scott's Rigid Schwinn MTB. The bridges and the tunnels were crazy awesome to ride on and through.
