Day 14

Left MT today and went 71 miles to Pincher Creek, Alberta.  There was one place to stop at around mile 60.  They had great chimichangas and ice cream and the ladies working here were wonderful. 


After tanking up at the General Store, we finished the last 10 miles off and then Rick decided on the spur of the moment to get a cheap hotel in Pincher Creek.  Pincher Creek is an odd little city, but, they have a good market and we could stock up on food. We have now left the mountains for 2 - 3 days.  In retrspect I recommend everyone who remotely likes mountains to visit Glacier.

Plus, it is narrow, does not extend into the shoulder where cyclists ride, and also is not so deep like some that almost knock you off your bike. Anyhow, kudos to Oregon Transportation Dept for this design and hopefully other states will copy it. This critter had been hit by a car but was still alive. I thought it was a beaver at first but then realized the tail indicates something else. This thing was pretty big at around 7 - 8 pounds. Anyone know what it is? Gardiner has to be one of the saddest looking towns along the Oregon coast. The only people I saw were digging out in the mud -  I am guessing for clams. I finally made it to Reedsport and sto

If you are a "cyclist" you will most likely laugh. This video explains why serious cyclists do what they do. Though it is written to be funny, it is actually very close to what many serious cyclists think.... Cycling Explained
