Forty Days and Forty Nights

Just a few things weve learned....

Chamois cream= Mandas best friend
There is a certain smell, that after riding alongside a highway for this long you know what it is...road kill. You smell it, look up, and theres the deer. I havent figured out if the stench is worse fresh or fully decayed.
Weve seen: deer, big horn sheep, sheep, dogs, dogs, dogs, foxes, a dead bear(does that count?) coyotes, hawks, maybe an eagle or two, some big spiders. No moose yet...
The extremes are the worst, if its 98 degrees, you want wind, if its windy, you want it at your back, if its 38, you want heat
Dont let Billy dutch oven you when you zip your bags together
Best diet ever: 7,000 calories a day, 7 hours of riding = 15lbs lost this month
You can ALWAYS eat more
The kindness of strangers makes our days, whether a honk, wave, or warm bed
