Last night was a good night. I was charge so the night just flew by. One more to go. I am excited.
Yesterday I spent cleaning house and doing laundry. I have everything pretty organized so I can throw it all together when we do pack. Still no hitch. We are now looking at the unpleasant prospect of putting the bikes in the back of the van. I have light beige carpet and will have to put a blanket down. I don't want grease on it. We still have today and tomorrow for it to get here. They said it will only take a hour to get it on so keep your fingers crossed.
I am trying not to stress about Zoey. I know Dan will take good care of her along with Luke. I almost wish we had boarded her though. Hopefully it will work out fine.
I read in the Rapid City news that bikers should be careful about the rattlesnake on the trails. Great. First maybe mountain lions, now rattle snakes. What next, black widow spiders! Yikes.
Tomorrow we have to get our energy jells and Rick is borrowing some bike shorts from our son. He has resisted getting bike shorts but it really helps on a long trip.
The weather is suppose to perfect for riding. Mid 70's. Not too hot. I can't wait to be on the trail. I am bringing my laptop but don't think I will be able to get wireless so you probably won't hear from me until I get back. We might go to the Grand Tetons after we leave the Black Hills for a week so I am not sure when we will get back. We just might bum for awhile.
Well, I am getting tired. Time for sleep. Take care all.

That picture would be beautiful printed and framed. I hope your hitch gets there on time. I would think the boys will take good care of Zoey although she is going to miss you. That sounds better than boarding her at the vets where she would be miserable and scared. Helen
Enjoy yourself and take lots of pics!

Hi Julie, congratulations on winning the caption contest. That was cute ! Sounds like you're heading out for a bit of a bike ride. One of my cousins is up in Newfoundland right now riding with a group from B.C. She lives in Utah and has ridden those cross country tours many times. Have fun & be safe. Linda in Washington state
