Christine O.My best friend in Baker City, Oregon -- not only did this hot little number (and her roomie - who I didn't really get a chance to chat with) let all of us camp in her back yard - use her shower - her washer/dryer - share her beers --- she's also a total Nacho Libre fanatic! - pushing her way up my rad scale.
Christine picked us up at a bar after meeting a fellow TransAm cycler - Clive, who I have yet to blog about.
She is 29 years old and for around 7 years worked her dream job as a wildland firefighter until she busted her leg on the job -- a wicked break just like the guy on Touching the Void -- ouch! Now she is an aspiring radiologist/veterinarian - don't tell anyone, but I think she practices on her cat. She currently works for a vet - as well as a cool little coffee shop - actually it's the largest coffee shop I've ever seen. If I were to ever classify anyone as sassy -- it's for sure this chica.

In all of Baker City? I find that hard to believe.
When are you going to blog about someone that is not packing Panniers so I can rip them a new one?
J/K Paul. Nicola M. told me to tell you that you are the bomb, guvna.
*the* best thing that has ever happened to me. I'm 100% positive she's my soul mate. Don't worry I'm sure there's a babe out there for you too. Peace out.
bonus points for a post that references "Touching the Void," which at first I confused with "Gleaming the Cube." Silly mistake.
Seems you're not only collecting daily memories, but a sizable list of future correspondents and coast-to-coast places to crash. Each day ya gotta feel good about your decision to chance doing this trip. Nice,...really nice !!
Judging from your speaking (writing) manner, someone would be hard pressed to believe you were raised in an Amish/Mennonite stronghold of eastern Penna (unless of course they have a copy of your closeup-photo with that half beard). Hint: Toss in an occasional smattering of '60s lingo, or a reference to "Gone with the Wind", etc.....
