Over the rockies and life on the bus! :)

Hello! Sorry for not writing yesterday… no internet access and time was a bit limited. Over the past two days we traveled through Durango, CO and Taos, NM. The views of the Rockies were amazing and we’ve seen lots of wildlife. Two deer crossed in front of Paolo, a barking “Benji” dog chased Brian for a tenth of a mile, and a silly rabbit hopped in front of Ed after a 48mph downhill! There’s been a few close calls but we’re all safe. Now we're just leaving Boise City Idaho and on to Pratt, KS. Take a look at Lonnie flagging us down for a rider exchange. When the guys are doing 25-30mph those exchanges come up quick.

Life on the bus is crowded and we’re all sleep deprived but that hasn’t stopped the fun. Mike Riley & Frank Lawson, our bus drivers have told numerous stories about driving buses for musician concert tours and the crazy lives of rock stars. Chef Lonnie has kept us well fed and we’ve managed to get to a grocery store for fresh food each day. Uncle Tom makes great breakfast sandwiches which get the guys moving in the morning. I've enclosed a picture of me blogging on the bus and Lonnie makin sandwiches...
