Escalante Dreaming




Yesterday, We mosied into Ruby's inn around 1:00... We knew it was going to be cold so we got a room at the inn and Erik un-loaded to BOB and rode off to Bryce for a little. I hunkered down for a nap. Red canyon was amazing as well as all of the wash land. The whole ride was nice as much of it was on bike trails

Well we woke up this morning... We knew it was going to be cold, but we didn't know it was supposed to snow! Yes it was a blizzard, almost white out conditions... well it seemed that way. We stayed indoors until 11:00 and then headed out for Escalante.

About ten or so Miles we met a fellow Cross Country Trekker. He had started a few day before us, but has taken several small trips with friends and his family. Len was welcomed company today and he is camping with us tonight.

As far as some of the questions... BROOKSIE!!!!! My Saddle is well broken in now, so some days I am a little more sore than others, but for the most part... Things there are fine.

The weather is going to start getting warmer, so I am looking forward to shedding the leggings and the parka. Brrrrrrrrrr.

Keep the comments coming and Don't forget to keep us in your prayers.

Much love
T

Hey Tom- So glad that your whole body is holding up well. I've been building up the courage to ask for weeks! Got an email from Merc today- we miss you two a whole lot. Keep up the good work and stay safe!

Hi Dad,

This is Lucy. We miss you. Can you help us set up the tether ball when you come back? Mom's not that good at it.

Love, Lucy

Hi Erik and Tom,

Your trip sounds like such a blast. Having that kind of adventure is so good for you (and everyone)! Mercedes and I are planning ours. We're thinking about hiking in Scotland...

I miss you, Erik, but I'm happy for you.

Love,
Sos
