Okay, so Leanna (who for some reason that I can't remember calls me "Spud") has just emailed me about the "Spud on Wheels Adventure Tour", as she calls it. Too funny! Just had to throw that in there.

Okay... 9 min left of library time... gotta make this quick...

In Baker City, we took a day off to paint the trailers. It was fun, we doodled on them and painted some quotes on them. We're now the "Custom BOB Girls", according to Mikey from Tennessee, who pulled in that evening. Mikey's riding his bike from Florida to Seattle, where he'll catch a boat up to Alaska. Go Mikey! What a funny guy... he kept going off on these hilarious monologues that had us in stitches. For example, first things when I met him, he goes "Where you going to? DON'T go to Idaho! I just came through Idaho, and it was hell. I'm never going back - in fact, I'm going to forget that Idaho even exists! You wanna know what Idaho's like? Go ride straight up that mountain, then full speed into the guardrail and do a back flip over it. THAT'S what Idaho is like!".

Okay, 4 minutes left left....

After Baker City we biked for a few more days and are not in Caldwell, Idaho. And it's frickin' hot! Tuesday and Wednesday got up to around 102 degrees Fahrenheit, and the weekend is supposed to be up around 105. Whew! You can tell it's getting hotter as the smell of the roadkill gets stronger.

Eeeek, time's up! Will write more later!
