Where are we again?

We made it to Poplar. 68 miles into a headwind the entire way. Ughh. In order to break up the frustration, the mom decided to "study". Along the trip, she has been having difficulty remembering where we came from and where we are going. For example, this is a conversation she had yesterday upon arrival into Circle:

Gas station employee: "where are you coming from?"

The mom: "uhhhhh"

Employee: waits patiently

The mom: (after several seconds responds blankly) "from 68 miles that way?"

Employee: "Jordan?"

The mom: "Yeah! Jordan, that is where we came from"

Anyways along the ride today I would quiz her periodically.

"mom, where are we coming from?"

Response: "Circle!"

"and where are we going?"

Response: "Poplar!"

She did very well on her quizzes and overall I must administer a 90%. She did lose 10% when randomly during the middle of the ride she couldn't remember where we were going (Poplar!) for a couple of seconds.

Tomorrow we are going to Williston to stay at a hotel/motel. Running water and a bathroom! Yippee!

  1. I am sure one town looks just like the next! Followers want to know what types of bikes you are riding and what you eat for breakfast?
