June 13
Shout out to Aly Von Handorf, Happy Bertday. She is 24 today.
Left Mitchell and started with a hill. Got the worst one out of the way early. Stopped to get a cup of coffee in Dayville, population
138. Little café also served food of
course, and Jack and Jerry saw a “short stack” of pancakes on the menu. They decided to get those and of course I
couldn’t let them eat alone. Well a
short stack was two pancakes, probably 10 inches in diameter. Quite a meal.
Across the street was a fake townfront like the one in Blazing
Saddles. When Jeff and Jerry made reference
to that, Jack was completely lost. He
has never seen Blazing Saddles. C’mon
Teri, you’re sheltering this poor guy.
Several times, we have talked about movies and Jack is in the dark. I’ve had a couple instances of not being
quite as smooth on my bike as my cohorts.
Does the name Artie Johnson ring a bell with anyone? Well not Jack. Never had the privilege of seeing Laugh In.
Today we went 85 miles.
Not too bad. Lot of tailwind to
push us along. Again lots of scenery and
mountains. Ended up in a town called Prairie
City, population 1080. Had a pretty big downtown. Even had a sports bar. Sue secured a camping spot for us. Had to pay $1.75 for showers so we
splurged. Little chilly in the evening,
still at a pretty high elevation. Sue
cooked us a pasta meal with mett and spinach salad. Eating like kings. Jack and Jeff went into town to catch some of
the Spurs game. I think they were
playing the Heat. Stayed till
halftime. Had some salsa and chips and a
Deshute (?) beer at a Mexican establishment.
No Mexican beer on tap. Left at
halftime with the score 49-49. Probably
won’t find out until Saturday who won.
Heard the Reds are still 3 games out.
Went back to the campsite about 7:30.
We all chatted a bit in the chilly air and turned in about 8:00. We are an exciting bunch.
Off to Baker City in the morning for more excitement.
Jeff, Jack, Jerry, Sue
