bread loaf conquest!

Hi all, this morning we awoke to the sound of water rushing down the stream right by our tents. I think it has been the best night yet. Each day we face a different challenge between the weather and the incline. Yesterday was heat and wind...apparently they were warning ppl to stay out of the heat. It was supposed to get up to 103-107 w/ the humidity. Needless to say we drank more water, and i can't tell you how refreshing a bath in the stream was! We are blessed w/ a great cook in Karla as each night we have a good meal to top our PB&J for lunch. Our first night we ran into a friendly chap who gave us some of his quinoa that he had gotten in hawaii, so we had that last night w/ beans and corn, oreo's for dessert:). Another upside(literally) is that I have not fallen since the second day, though my knee is slowly healing. We have biked up a few mountain passes that have proven to be quite tough, but oh, the joy of biking down them! Shawn hit 42.86 this morning heading down bread loaf (what we call the pass). I'm pretty sure that every single day ppl warn us about the extreme thunderstorms heading our way, but we have only had to face rain and some wind so far. Well, next time you see an update, hopefully it will be written in New York.
