Got to Baker City and checked into a Best Western Motel! Thermostat is set on 60 degrees and I am standing in front of it. Feels sooooo nice. When I get good and cool I am going to sit in the hot tub! They have a rec room with a stationary bike, I can ride on that! (Just joking 🙂 )

this is our 6th full day of pedaling and we have come 320 miles so we are averaging about 53 miles per day. That average needs to come up to 70 per day but it will be easier to do when we get past the hills and I get in shape.

i am going to sleep in to 10 am in the morning and really work at getting fully rested as we resume our trip on Tuesday morning. Weighed and I have lost 6 lbs so far even with all the eating we have been doing. That is 1 lb per day. If I keep that up I will lose 60 lbs on the trip. You all won’t recognize me!

My brother, Cliff and John and I are all very hard of hearing and our conversations are about 50% “what?”. Takes awhile for the three of us to figure out anything. John’s wife, Mary Anne joined us today and as we sat  at “Subway” eating lunch she was our interperter. Thanks for praying for us. I actually think today that I might finish this adventure. Love ya all
