Bethel moutain, wha wha. That's all I've heard about since this trip began and I am surely ready to let this hill know who's boss. Apparently it's a six mile climb up some major pass and has been termed the hardest day of the trip. As long as I finish near the lead group and get some lunch, I expect to be fine.
The past several days we've spent in Lebanon building habitat houses. There hasn't been much to report other than the fact that Dad and Uncle Dave came through last night. We had dinner and I had to hear about their oh-so harrowing ride...on motorcycles. Staying in hotels. Eating out. What a rough trip.
Other than some other minor points, there simply hasn't been alot to report. I've some rather amusing pictures from the build sites and of the newly-painted trailer (compliments of Craig, Maki, and myself). Shazzam.

The Quotable Craig
"I figured when people would ask me about what I was doing this summer I would be able to say 'Oh, yeah I'm riding across the country' instead of something lame like working or sitting around. Sometimes I wonder who's laughing now."
"Did you buy anything at the market, Craig?"
"No, I didn't have any place to put it."
"What about in your duck?"
"Nah, that's only good for popcorn."
"Craig, say something funny."
"We're riding across the country."
"And I thought 'I am a cyclist now.'"

"40% of the reason I'm doing this trip is for the shock value."
"All I am able to think about right now is Johnny Depp."

Hey K!
Your dad and uncle dave blew in and out of here in 18 hours. 'Was great to spend some time with them. Cousin Dave enjoyed sharing interest with Allyn...cameras, bikes, music. Wonderful to see the Hills and Liattis. The weather was picture perfect both times. Stay safe and dirty!!
