>>1021005I do have more photos, but I'd just assume save them for posts with content in them.
I did forget about a few guys when answering
>>1018308Reading my journal last weekend was fun and informative.
Before taking this photo where I spent the night on the shores of Lake Superior, I rode for ~20 miles with another guy around my age who was heading from his home in Ohio off to Alaska. Apparently he was just done with Ohio and wanted to find direction in his life or similar, planning to go to some relatives/family friends in northern California afterwards. I'm not sure what happened to him. I stopped before he did that day and didn't see him again. I assume I passed him because he was heading in the same direction and I have a hard time imagining someone getting up earlier than I did to ride in a miserably wet/cold/windy morning.
Google tells me he stopped at the Bicycle Museum of America (well before I saw him). I hope you found something to do with yourself Brett.
I also ran into an older guy touring out near Telluride, CO who had me pose for a photograph to put in his blog. I haven't taken a single selfie while riding and don't plan to, but it was a bit of an ego boost to have a guy put my picture up, labeling it 'touring cyclist with 34,000 miles on his bike'. In a couple weeks I'll be closer to 38k.
And then there was another older guy I met near Jackson, WY who told me about how the presence of a military changes the personality of the residents of a country and how he was going to go back to Costa Rica and live with proper human beings. I hope you found what you were looking for too, Jay.
Keeping a journal is something I never do in everyday life, but I'm happy I do it while I'm touring.
