Sunday, July 27, 2014. Monday, July 14, 2014. Yard, then and now. This is how the back yard looked when we moved in. Lots of trees close to the house. Lots of Salal taking over the yard. We took down nine trees back here. So overgrown - hard to believe now! Trees downed April 2013. Lots of firewood to be split! Once the trees were down we started fighting the other plants, Salal is NOT easy to get rid of! Its starting to open up. Then this spring Rick got in there with a backhoe and levelled out the yard.

Thanks to the giant bikes we'd have in tow, and how often we'd want to get off to see the countryside) we took the off-hand suggestion of Tara's brother, "just buy a car and drive across! As we cycled towards Russia, we learned that car-buying in the former Soviet Union would be a nightmarish sea of bureaucracy. So, we changed course yet again—this time we took an epic.

We loved free camping in the woods. Nearly every night, and dipping into ponds.

Bicycle Touring in Western Europe. On April 1st, 2009 we left our homes and families and flew to Scotland. To begin what was to be a one year adventure. Thanks to long Minnesota winters and the foot of snow that still covered the ground when we departed, we'd never ridden our bicycles fully loaded until we teetered out of the airport in Glasgow! Needless to say, we were very green. Somehow, we survived the hills. After two months in Scotland and England, we boarded a ferry. And eating delicious food.
