- XL does not only stand for extra large.
- There are people who actually look good in bicycle shorts, Not-Hank for example.
- Pie is not anywhere near as prevalent as advertised.
- But if you are in Iowa and the people in the next campsite find out you haven't had pie, they will give you some.
- The difficulty of peeing in the weeds is inversely proportionate to individual necessity.
- An air mattress on a Residence Inn fold-out sleeper couch is infinitely more comfortable than one on the ground.
- Asking CaDiva how she possibly fell off the edge of said air mattress on the ground is better addressed after you help her.
- Pork chop on a stick is a good meal whenever it is available.
- I can drive a huge SUV with an even larger trailer but only forward.
- HRH is freaking fantastic.
When I recover from lack of sleep and the heat I'll give you all the details but our little band had a grand adventure. TWC finished, Non-Hank went wheels-up after the first pass-through town but is already planning for next year's ride, and HRH made it to St. Anthony. St. Anthony was the 2nd to last pass-through town and about 20 miles before the end point at Marshalltown. It was also at the beginning of a 700 foot climb in elevation, so a very sensible stopping point.
When I checked with her later today, she taken little hrh to the daycare, stowed her gear, made lunch for the prince consort, finished three loads of laundry, tended to her vegetable garden, played with little hrh and teased her older sister. As I said, Freaking Fantastic.
We have so many stories to tell and I need to download the pictures. I will share both of them over the next few days but for now, I have to go to work tomorrow so I'm off for bed.
