MattyRedrock texted: "stepped out of my tent this morning and we had a camp buddy. Literally no fear. He knew we had food. It was the funniest thing. He would come right up to us if he didn't get spooked." Thank you for these beautiful pictures Matt!
Corinne also received a VIDEO UPDATE from MattyRedrock about where they were, and where they were headed next. We are glad your spirits are high and you are meeting others along the trail. The scenery is beautiful! For their current location, CLICK HERE.
Scarecrow called me last night, needing a little positive energy sent his way. Apparently, his back tire was not enjoying the ride, and one by one, a spoke would pop out of the tire. Eventually, when all spokes had exited the tire, it wrecked the tire completely. He was a bit discouraged as he rolled into the next town and called me. All he needed was a little reminder that he was VERY LUCKY that this happened as he approached the town, and not 30 miles back while they were still in the back country. He was able to get to a bike store and get the parts for his bike. My advice was, "as frustrating as this may feel, roll with it, because it is all happening for a reason, and you are exactly where you are meant to be." Easier said by the person who is NOT out in the woods with a broken tire!
I received this picture and message this morning from Scarecrow: "Thank you for your positive energy. I was thinking of you when I took this picture."
Thank you guys for the updates! We, at home, are happy things are going well, and that you are having a great time on your adventure. We look forward to your pictures, texts, and updates. Just keep pedaling, keep your heads up, think positive, and enjoy the ride.
Full of pride,
Corinne & The Thruhiker's Wife
