Frustrating smartphone blogging. Just finishing and it all disappeared again.
After awakening from a restful sleep at Bucky's Cafe and Motel I took advantage of the favorable environmental conditions and hunted and pecked through some more blog entries.
After our usual oatmeal breakfast we pedaled off into mostly sunny weather with 65 degree temps. It later dropped to 54 degrees and rained about 10 percent of the time climbing out of Council . We climbed 2697 ft that day.
In Council, ID we met Brian Sullivan, a 63 year old Australian who was doing the Transam from Yorktown, VA to Astoria, OR and had left on 4/10/13. He was "credit card touring" and was traveling "light and fast". He was here on a three month visa. He had already toured across Australia.
We then pedaled on to New Meadows to pick up replacement tent poles to replace one that Charlie had broken back on the Oregon coast.
Met Caleb ? Who is a young aspiring film producer e ho is going fom Berkley CA to New Hampshire with his cat being carried in a blanket-lined handlebar basket and minimal survival gear. See picture.
As it had been raining and getting cold and the light soon to end, we came to a rest area where the manager who lived next door initially told us we would not be able to camp there but ageed to it after we mentioned we were doing the TransAm and raising funds for a good cause.
