We meet a lot of people on our trip. Some who also are on a bike trip, some that are doing the same trip as we are, others just biking. Some bikes to raise money for various purposes, others to find somewhere to stay. Some does a weekend trip (love your attitude Jerry and Larry), some have no time limit at all.    

We also meet people not biking, who will stay in my mind for a long time.  I think of Dan in Stevensville (a war veteran who lives in a motel outside of town), the bartender Shannon in Canon City, the waitress in West Roosevelt who served us our first egg & bacon, generous Robert in Wilton, Ron and Maggie who moves across the country with their two children for a job, the waitress in Wisdom who treated us so well when we sweaty and dirty escaped from the mosquitos into her restaurant and of course everybody that stops along the way and offer water when it is hot. And many, many more.
