As utterly tired as I am, I just have to write before bed. I am in Cumberland, Wi laying in my sleeping bag on a large door mat in the girl's bathroom in a small airport administrative building. Long story short - I met a pilot in Amery while I was fixing yet another flat who told me that there are pilot lounges that are always unlocked in each of the small private airports in most small towns. Well buddy, this one is locked! So, here I lay in the warm and cozy bathroom. After biking through the remote wilderness in the dark in 50 degrees, i was really hoping I would at least have a couch!
I left Amery at 7pm...usually about the time that I need to stop to set up camp, but I was thinking I'd have a warm couch to stay on. Dusk is always my favorite time to bike.
Don't get me wrong - I am grateful I didn't have to set up camp at midnight in the cold and dark. I gave myself a warm sponge bath nd am now clean and cozy! Today my moral was low - it started last night when I lay in my hammock alone in the wild recalling emails from friends and family in warm SE Asia. If I had left sooner in the summer, I woudln't be faced with this cold weather, and I'd be back in SE Asia by now. I'm feeling much better now though, after meeting the pilot and became more focused on my here and now.

That second photo is a nice one - any chance of a higher res one sometime?
I hate it when people post nice background images online and make them too small to use as a wallpaper. :P
