Being the butt-head that I am ... while we were at Mount Rushmore, a group of 50 (or so) bicyclist arrived. They were on a supported tour, and were putting in some serious miles ... while there, one of them, Bob Hauck, was taking pictures of his co-riders. Again, being the butt-head that I am, as a joke, I posed in the spot that others had posed. Bob was gracious enough to take a few pictures and e-mailed them to me ... thank you Bob.
Sometimes being a butt-head pays off in a positive way. Not always ... but sometimes.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog. We appreciate living vicariously your summer rie across the US. We have been following your cross country and the trip of a supported cross country group ABB (America By Bicycle)). Three local Bills have made that trip Bill Borland, Bill (linda's Bill) and me (Kentucky Camp). Thats the group that you ran into at Mt Rushmore. Small world.
We look forward to hooking up with you when you get home to learn some touring tips to add to our bag of tricks.
Keep up having fun and writing about it.

Bill,
DeleteSaw a 3/8", 1/2" open end wrench on the road the other day and thought of you ... did not want to get dropped by the group (headwind), so did not stop to pick it up. See you in the fall.
