I hope you're following along on the Thanks page, because there are some awesome people on there!

On just one day, July 15, I met these people:

• 30 young Yale students riding their bikes 4000 miles across the country to benefit Habitat for Humanity.
• John and Shiree, Forest Service Pine Beetle Researchers, chatted and shared their lunch with me on Galena Summit.
• And Wade and Twila Ficklin and their kids thought about me on their return trip from Stanley and stopped to buy a gatorade and popsicle for me, and then stopped on the road when they found me and gave them to me and we chatted! How's that for thoughtful!

Jeff Palmer says: If you're ever feeling depressed, go for a bike tour. It will cheer you up. He's right!
