A word about my boy. Max has been nothing but a fantastic, good spirited, willing partner in this endeavor. During our long days of peddling next to each other he’s asked me questions about my life and I’ve basically replied with my life story. So wonderful to share this time together.

We often have to filter water from the streams, and Max has been my filter boy, scrambling down to the rivers to keep us hydrated.

We made it to Ovando MT and we are sleeping in the basement of a church. They even offer a shower and laundry! All free to bicycle travelers. So kind.
