We journeyed up highway 20 from Raser State Park to Colonial Creek, at the foot of Ross and Diablo lakes. Long without companionship of the female kind, we were delighted to share the road and our pains with the Heidi's (Heidi Hoff and Heidi Biggs, respectively). Both collegiate competitive cyclists and all-around great gals, they have been a welcome set of traveling partners.
Our day-long quest to find small American flags to replace our trailers' stock yellow safety flags had ended in... great success (Borat accent)!! We will now be proudly flying square, American flag bandannas the rest of the way across the nation. Keep your eye out.
Big shouts out to Lisa from Olympia and Jeanne from West Seattle. Last night in Rasar St. Park these gracious ladies invited us over to their warm camp fire, and proceeded to ply us with delicious cheese, crackers, and box wine, while they enjoyed gin and water ("because we ran out of 7up, and what's the difference, really?!"). So cheers, invite you to raise a tall gin and water, and toast: 'to the kindness of strangers!'
Salud, Tamaso
