soft roads are not so good

[egg_shell]

Candy and I biked 15 miles round trip today - nearly half of that distance on freshly graded old railroad bed. The road was "fluffy" and hard to push through - tires always sinking in a little. Not easy at all but we both wanted to make it to Leeper no matter what - and so we did. The freshly turned earth smelled very mucky in some spots. I liked that about it. We both agreed we would not try this trip again till the trail was paved. In spite of the difficult peddling it was still a beautiful sunny but cool day - couldn't have been nicer. At Leeper we ate at the Sawmill restaurant. I had a big piece of fried fish and fries - simple but good. We met a few workers who said the trail would probably be paved before winter - so next spring will be a good time to get back there. I arrived home exhausted and slept for a few hours.

I just got a text from Kathy. They just now got their electric back - very good news. But no internet, cable or landline phone yet.
