Theme Song to Wagon Train





I am aware that everyone is finding it a tad warm at the moment so I am not expecting much sympathy.......but jeez it's hot!!!  Today we finished at 12:30 by which time it was already in the low 40s centigrade.  Our coping strategy is to hit the road at 7am which gives a couple of hours in the cool but it makes for short nights and I could really use a lie in.

Today we have been following the Oregon Trail, the route used by settlers from the east back in the day.  It is impossible to imagine what it must have  been like to take your family and everything you own on a wagon over this terrain.  Thanks to the invention of tarmac and the bicycle we had a considerably easier time and we dusted off our 70 miles in some style.

We are staying in Richland, a 1 horse town in the arse end of nowhere, but the best (ok....only) restaurant in town is offering 16oz steaks for a VERY modest sum so dinner is sorted.

Tomorrow a new state and a new time zone.  We are getting there....albeit very slowly.
