So it has been sometime since the last update. Day 6, we left polebridge went a different route to avoid the snow in the pass. Definitely a good decision, stopped at a winery along the way to columbia falls, MT and had a wine tasting. The guy running the winery used to live in PA near where we grew up and was in NH the week before, unbelievable. We camped in Tom and Patty Arnone's yard, they are very kind and generous hosts along the route and love to have cyclists. Thanks again for your hospitality! Day 7 we had a tough 6 mile climb then the rain hit us, it was a deluge, so we were cold and wet all over. Arrived at an intersection on the trail, a jeep rolls up with 3 people, Brian, Apryll and Joost, who graciously offer for us to stay at their guest cabin at their place a few miles away. We did and it was truly amazing, an awesome hot meal that Apryll made and a cabin with a wood stove to dry our stuff and warm us up. If anyone is interested in buying a Didgeridoo, check out Brian's website at flyingpopcornranch.com.
are you literally meeting strangers who host you spontaneously or is this stuff planned ahead? amazing, either way, really. reminds me of the books "Walk Across America" and "Walk West II" by Peter (and Barbara) Jenkins.
