Day 14: Off Day




Woke up today at 6:30 to some pretty nasty weather. Blowing rain out of the NNE which means that the rain would have been blowing in our face and we would have to fight the wind as well. So during breakfast we decided to stay in the hotel we are at for another day and take the day off. The decision was a bit tougher than I imagined, once you are in the zone and in a routine you want to keep making forward progress each day. So ended up going back to sleep and sleeping in till 2:00 in the afternoon for a total of 14 hours, I think my body needed it. Looks like the weather is starting to pass and we should be back on the road and heading into North Dakota tomorrow. Thanks for everyone who has been leaving comments for me I really appreciate them and I am glad to see people are reading the blog.

Looks like a fine establishment with a nice view and some exotic cuisine (we blew up the photo to notice the mixed nuts and Strawberry Nesquick--mmmmm!) Who would want to leave all that?! By the way, your hair looks even more fabulous today! Grin.

Sounds like we may miss you coming through Pella (unless the weather keeps holding you up). We'll be visiting the Tanis crew; but we'll probably see you in the Ozarks in July.

Hugs,
K, W, L, O, & D

By the way, your dear Uncle Wayne says you're a bit wimpy--he'd be doing at least 150 miles a day, headwinds or no headwinds. BE A ROCK!

(Actually he's rather proud).

Hey Adam I think you should get your Uncle Wayne to cross back with you once you hit the Atlantic--at 150 miles a day you 2 should be able to cross back in no time flat!!What do you think? Like he said Be a Rock!! Good idea taking the day off- 14 hours of sleeping I guess you needed it!Mom
