Vancouver Island? How'd that happen? Back up back up





I changed the plan after too many horror stories about headwinds. Since I have to finish the tour in Minneapolis, I decided to do the second half of the trip from Anacortes, WA to Minn. When I got to Green Bay, I rented a car and headed to Houghton to find a house to rent. Many thanks to my fabulous colleagues at MTU for hosting me. Then I found a used Honda back in Green Bay. Jen's parents, Pam and Joe, took such good care of me. It was so fun hanging out with them and it was hard to leave! Then I drove to Minneapolis and jumped on a plane to Vancouver to visit Bergie, Dave, Zoe, Ava, Cody, Beverley, Leo, and Uncle David. I'm heading through the Cascades now and hoping to stay dry.

  1. So happy you're back up again. I was beginning to worry and then sis filled me in. Keep trekking, Sue. Love living vicariously through your blog.

    Happy trails.

  2. Hey girl, my sister has no idea where to do send your stuff. I gave her your phone since she didn't have it - but I don't get it. You flew from Minneapolis to Vancouver? And what is the rest of the plan? Did you find a house? More info babes.

  3. Hey, dat Sue? Everytime Leo sees a bike with yellow paniers he says "Sue"! Hope the weather has been good and you haven't had to use your new gloves. Be careful. Luv you, Beverley and Leo. xo

  4. Hey Sue, I'm sitting on a deck drinking a beer at the Kaslo golf course looking at the Kootenay mountain range. The weather finally cleared and can't say it can get much better than this. I'm thinking you would like this beer so I will drink a sip for you.

    Where are you anyway? Let me know where the hot springs are please.

    Keep on trekking, I sure enjoyed meeting you :)
