Hi, everyone! In the interest of brevity, we think we'll switch to more of a photo book mode than a story book mode. Saves on the typing, and saves a little time. When there's really good stories we'll be sure to share them, though. Enjoy!!

Here's our last day in Bozeman, as we head to Anaconda to see M's sister and store the truck. This is July 9th...

Final stop at The Spotted Horse in Belgrade. Going to miss their coffee and their awesome atmosphere.

The good old Red Rig ALMOST made it to Karl's place in Anaconda. Vapor locked on the last hill ... Cooled it off a wee and it powered in just find.

Here we are with our buds at The Butte Folk Fest. One last blast with friends at home!

 Us and all our stuff at the airport in Bozeman. That's a lot of stuff! Next stop is Seattle for a long layover and hanging out with my brother, and then on to Iceland!

Our first night in Iceland. Beautiful sunset, and it's about 11:00 pm!! 

 The beautiful church in Reykjavik, called Hallgrimskirka. We unfortunately missed the noontime organ concert, which was a serious bummer. Maybe next time?

 We also stopped at the Blue Lagoon hot spring for several hours of much-needed soaking  had a blast, and then walked around a bit. The lava that makes up the country side is incredibly rugged and unforgiving, and is called Devil's Lava.

 Another beautiful sunset.

 Sitting on the plane after landing at Glasgow. The bikes made it!

 And several hours later... They're built!

 Our first camp in Scotland, after a day riding in the rain from Galsgow. We Wild-camped in the Balloch country park with huge beautiful cedars. We woke up to bagpipes from the highland games going on that day. We must be in Scotland!

 Following Cycle Route 7... Before we got to Aberfoyle. This is near Croftamie.

 Ahh... The Scottish country side!

 Cycle route 7 took us over a very rugged mountain pass on logging roads through the Trossachs. The road was so steep in places that we had to get off and walk, pushing our overloaded bikes up the gravel roads. The scenery made it all worth it, though. Here's some large timber stacks ... Huge!

Again, the beautiful scenery!

At the end of Day 2 we made it to Callender and stayed in a hostel to dry our stuff after 18 miles of riding.

If you want to see our route, Google National Cycle Route 7, and maybe add Sustrans to the search term. 

Now it's about 1:30 in the afternoon, and we're headed to Killen. See you there!
