      You know some people just like to hate on things….sad but true! I doubt some even bother to watch …just go around disliking on folk! Some also never learned if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all! Linnea I was so impressed with your older self and Eric! Talk to people …bother to befriend people and you will make life long friends and see one another when paths cross! How hard is it to take some time to care about others?… a smile a hello etc take the time. Love your videos Linnea! Thank you for all you put into them!😊

    The kindness of strangers radiates into the world and changes everything. Not sure where you are on your travels, but should you ever pass through Tennessee you are both welcome at our home. We can break bread, my wife and I have a smaller version of the promaster and are fellow travelers, but we do have a home base! I also had a lab/white shepherd mix long ago, who looks just like your pup! Best dog ever. Happy trails... we'll see you out on an adventure perhaps one day!

I've been out about a month now and so far I've met one really cool couple from Oregon that ide their bikes cross country and spend the winters here in Arizona. They are volunteersL rangers in Southern AZ near the border. It sarted by the gentleman coming to pay a compliment on my rig, which is by no means anything special so I was really flattered where as they have the big oh 5tg wheel camper. He went on to tell me how his wife who is in her late 60s probably closer to 70s rides 32 miles a day. I didn't want to be rude and ask an age. But they have crossed the US multiple times via bike, once traveling through The Dakotas. Wisconsin and The UP of Michigan over to Cleveland just to visit family from Oregon. And I thought wow.. these people are awesome...
