Sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands.
Trusting the Weather network is like nailing jello to a tree. OK, that is not my own saying, I got it from a sign I saw in Oatman.
But for me, raising teenagers was more like....ummm......nailing a chocolate bar to a tree. And let.s say that chocolate bar is a Snickers. Ya, that would be more like it. Because I like Snickers and I like teenagers and they make me laugh.
Where was I? Oh ya, the weather network. Yesterday was supposed to be the third day of my good weather window to make it home. There was a wide variety of weather but very little sunshine. I had to beat the snow before it hit Crater Lake, but it rained on me for two hours,
Rubber gloves are good for more than just washing dishes and toilets. Over my leather gloves they keep my hands warm and dry.
Because of my last experience in the sind tunnel east of Palm Springs, I was mortified to now see another swath of windmills in the distance. As I got closer I could see them all turning and I knew the wind was going to bat me around again.
My brother and his son, who are very professional with their photography have the most awesome photos of these monster windmills. They are amazing machines.
After riding through one more rain storm that incidentally was worse than it looked from the distance Terry, I made it to Yakima and spent the night there. If the weather is good to me I should make it to Kamloops today. I am very excited to see snickers...I mean my kids and grandkids who are all there right now. Yippee! That is enough to spur me on.
