BIG SKY COUNTRY


After a climb over Lolo Pass, I entered the State of Montana, on Monday, June 16,2008. I also surpassed the 1000th mile pedaled on this section! I'm already 1/4 the way home! Only 3000 more miles to go!

Hi Gary
Your pictures are beautiful. The trip really sounds neat. It is now official, June 14th, Ed and I are married. Bob R was the officiant. Our buddies from WMS were there. The sky was clear when we said our vows but opened up when everyone was eating and dancing. We had a tent. I hope that your trip continues to move smoothly.
Ed and I head for Alaska on Friday for 10 days.
Take care
Rosemary

Congratulations on the 1000 mark! How's the rump holding up? Wishing you clear sailing on your next 1000 miles. And speaking of sailing, we'll drop ship some pontoons to help you get through the Mid-West.

Bring it on Hick!

Love,
The NY Vogts

Congratulations! 1000 miles. I'm impressed and glad you're safe and doing well. Great pictures. Keep safe and tell Lise that I said "Hi" and to please call me if she needs anything.

Hi Honey!!
Can't wait to join you. I'm sure those roads will straighten out by the time I get there, right? I'm packing today, leaving tomorrow and will see you on Sunday in Yellowstone.
Much love,
Me

If you turn around and pedal back to Portland, Gary, I'll have sheets on the bed this time. Oops.

I found the pocket hammock. Let me know if you want me to send it to you somewhere down the line. Easily done.

Hey Mr. Hinkman!
Congratulations on your millenial mark! Enjoy your Yellowstone "reunion" and we'll be praying for dry tailwinds for the latter 3/4 of the trip. Great pics!
