Today we woke up to a cold, mosquito-free campsite. Thank the Lord for no mosquitoes! I’d rather be cold any day rather than eat my cereal while walking circles around the campsite. Nevertheless, it was a very dreary, wet, cold, rainy morning. So after eating some muffins, oatmeal, granola, and a little fruit, we took off from Whitehorse. While we, the boys, started biking, Madison and Mom got groceries and filled up with gas. For the first thirty miles, we had a nice road and tailwind. And, at around the thirty mile spot, Madison and Mom caught back up with us. So, we pulled over on the side of the road and had lunch (delicious pizza-bread pretzels, and a bunch of blueberries and cherries). The rest of the riding was bumpy, but the road was pretty flat. Also, on today’s ride some of us saw a coyote and we also got to check out an old wood bridge that was originally built for wagons during the Gold Rush. The scenery is starting to get more mountainous again. Right now the clouds are really low and we can’t even see the tops. We ended today at Hanes Junction. We had potatoes and hotdogs for dinner. Then we went to the ice cream shop nearby and had a few treats for dessert.
Sorry for no pictures, the internet connection isn't good enough here at Hanes Junction to upload any.

What a grand adventure. Reading about it makes me wish we could have gone with you. Thought you might enjoy hearing that we had lacrosse camp last week in O'Fallon. We had 70+ kids for the week and wish that the Owens kids could have been with us. Bike safe and remember....pedal harder, pedal faster....Your mom will understand. The Boots
Happy to hear that you are all doing well and having a great adventure! We went to Silverwood this weekend and had a blast! Can't wait until you get home! Call and let us know when you reach Roxy's! I have a new cell number 406-165-7690! Don't let the bugs carry you off!
Love, Robin, Rob and Ravyn!
Brett, this is one cool family adventure! I'm sure you'll all be talking about this trip for years as I'm sure it is quite the bonding experience. The Rousseau's have been silently following the blog throughout and we've enjoyed the pictures and commentary so far. The various Scout camps for our 4 older children are the big events on our calendar this summer...seems to pale in comparison. May God bless and protect you all for the remainder of your trip.
