Happy 34th Anniversary john!

Saturday 8/27. 40 miles. Cedar Creek to Holland Lake. I’m so fortunate that John is happy to support my adventures. Secretly, he’s probably happy to be rid of me for a while! Wet soggy morning. Oatmeal again…..outhouse was rated a”2”. A “1” rating warrants pooping in the woods. We waited for the sun to dry our tents a bit. Once on the bikes, the 0.8 mile warm up back to the trail was not so bad. We road with John and Louis today. It’s nice to have company! Almost all on dirt roads today. A long climb early then a bit of up and down. We are low on food because we can resupply tomorrow so the bikes are a bit lighter. We passed Peck Lake which was an option for camping the prior night but we were all glad we didn’t try to go that far. We would have been caught in that storm. Holland Creek was a nice campsite on the lake. We had fantasies that the lodge would have ice cream or food for sale but we were disappointed. We connected with Sandra (from Germany) and Steve (Montana) today also and they caped here as well. Everyone bathed in the Lake. We shared the camp fees so another cheap night of camping. No service to call my honey on our anniversary but our search and rescue device can send a pre typed message so he knew we were well. All is well.
