Canada to Mexico, Day 17:
We rode 47 miles to Weott (796 miles total). The bad news is that although Pat
is feeling better (still not 100 percent, but definitely lots better), not
Riley isn't feeling so hot. He was really tired and sluggish all day, which
isn't like him at all. Once we hit the campsite at 5:00, he went right to
sleep. I don't know if he is just taking a nap (which he hasn't had since he
was two), or if he is out for the night, but I feel so bad for him. I hope I'm not
next! The good news is that Pat is feeling better, we saw some sun during the
second half of our ride, and we rode through the "Avenue of the
Giants" (thank God "giants" means Redwood trees and not hills),
which was really serene and beautiful. Also, the landscape was pretty flat
today, which made for a very bearable ride. Summary of the day: a sick, tired
son is bad; a recovering husband, sun, flat landscapes, Avenue of the Giants,
camping in the Redwoods, riding past dairy farms that smell like Enumclaw, and
wine are good!
