up at a bar, until today. Here is what happened. Brian and I were
making good time and we stopped in Hope to get a ice cold fountain
drink. It was still to early for lunch so we thought we would try
Salome or Wenden. Salome didn't seem to promising so we rode the 5
miles to wenden and stopped at the only place that was open. It had a
sign that read Warm beer, lousy food, bad service, thanks for coming.
We were sold. We sat at the bar, got chips and salsa and some water.
Once the chips and salsa came out we knew the lunch was going to be
great. Warm chips, good salsa. I had a double cheeseburger and fries
with a taco thrown in for good measure. All was amazing. Then Betty
came over and put her hand on my back. I waz wearing a Team in Traing shirt and She asked about Team in Trainng
and is a lymphoma survivor herself, though had never heard of TnT. We
chatted it up some more and she asked where we were camping and we
said we really didn't know and Brian asked her for a suggestion. She
said wait here and we gave each other the look. We both knew she was
going to take us home. Her husband Jim gave the ok, she gave us
directions. We actually back tracked to get here and it's been great.
Horseshoes. Pot luck. Cards. Shower. Lots of friends and neighbors
being so nice to us. Great people that make the pedaling worth it.
Just realized tonight that I need to update my sponsor calander.
MAGAT!
Night.
