Greetings from Trinidad, CO! The sex-change capital of America! It's glorious to finally have a day off. Lately we've logged more miles per day than I thought physically possible (80+ miles for days on end). I've FINALLY posted my flip cam videos and they are much more entertaining than my sprint rush blog entries during my alloted time that I manage to steal a laptop and internet. So I shall direct you all to the website because I decided a video journal is much more engaging and I'm rather ridiculous when deliriously hot/tired/hungry/overwhelmed by the beauty of America/loving life and the rush of endorphins.
Some highlights though....
We built for 2 days in Oklahoma City (and no, prairies are NOT flat, the whole state was terribly hilly...thank you B$....lies lies lies about your flat flat flat state!)
We crossed into Texas, then New Mexico, then Colorado in 3 days!
Yesterday we explored a dormant volcano ( named Capulin ) in Des Moines, New Mexico! The outrageous part about it (besides just being in a volcano) was that from the top you could see 4 states AND the Rockies!
I hit 31 mph on a FLAT! Fastest time ever....also burned out my legs for the rest of the day, but worth it for the seconds of ridiculous speed.
I've met the most wonderful small town hosts. Arnett, Texas for example, thank you thank you thank you! They woke up at 4:30 to cook us breakfast! We've been so blessed!
Tomorrow, we ride again and by Friday we hit Colorado Springs and begin our Blitz Build! We will build an ENTIRE HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will definitely keep you update as the week passes!
peace and love to you all! I miss you and wish you happiness and joy and exciting summers full of lulls of relaxation!
vids coming soon, that is, as soon as I can snag a tech savvy kid to show me how to upload :)
