Day 19 - 69 Miles to Wild Goose
Friday, June 13 - made it to Wild Goose. Total miles 1,064. Awoke to clear weather - finally! Not a cloud in the sky. I immediately began a major climb of 2,200 feet with temperatures rising in the 70's. What a day! Went over the White Bird pass, a major pass. Met more cyclists including 3 Tulane medical students and an adventurous rider pedaling to Canada from Sacramento to start a bicycle race to Mexico along the Continental Divide! Can you imagine that?!!! The beauty and grandeur continue to unfold as the adventure continues. Set up camp at the Wild Goose forest service campground. A persistent chipmonk was trying to get in the panniers (bike bags) looking for food. Maybe he likes raw ramen noodles? Today (Saturday), the stretch I'm biking has no services for over 60 miles. Must make sure to have plenty of water.

Tom, What is all this talk about food? Are you burning up a few calories maybe. Can not wait to hook up with you once you get accross the Rockies. The Denver Colorado crowd is looking forward to a visit with you. You have been gone so long that one of your nephews is expecting a baby. Guess who? Bill Weidmann
