Miles and miles, 300 of them

Day 6- Pine Creek School.  How many students attend Pine Creek School?  Three.. yep, one third grader and two first graders.  This was our lunch stop on Day 6.  You can see how we take over the school grounds.

I had dropped off my jacket at the Gear Drop below. We get a blue bag with duck tape on it. Write our rider number on the tape and drop it in one of the boxes separated by rider numbers.  I found the 1700-1799 box, my number 1720. The Gear Drop team hauls it back to camp so I can get it when I get back. You may notice all the tape on the box. When I get my gear at the end of the ride, I take the duck tape tag and put it on the box and drop the blue bag inside. By the end of the week, it is quite a colorful collection, like telephone poles that have remnants of posters from years past.

I am home and have more posts coming.  I did ride 300 miles over the 6 days.  I took Wednesday, Day 4 off and am now not sure I should have. Woke up on Day 5 with many aches.  Of course, it could have been that I did not solve the problem of the puncture wound in my air mattress.  All during the night, every night, the bag gradually deflated and, there I was at 5 AM with my one inch Thermarest laying on top of a fully deflated air mattress.
