The Continental Divide

We passed the Continental Divide on our way to Lander. A week or so ago, at the Hugens’ in Boise, we found out what a Continental Divide *was*. It’s the sort-of imaginary line that divides where all water eventually flows either into the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans. So if we pee in a stream anywhere between here & home, it’s eventually going to run into the Atlantic. Viva.
This is our shoutout to the Atlantic Ocean... HOLLAAAAAAAA!!!!
Now it’s all downhill for sure. Has to be!
I agree – it has to be downhill from here (with maybe a few teeny little Appalachians or Poconos thrown in for fun.)
oh my god. so far from all downhill. it was a lot of uphill with 30 mile winds at our side, pushing us off the road. THEN it was GIANT up and down hills, not enough speed gained going down to get half way up without a lot of work. and with the crazy winds coming from various directions, i didnt feel comfortable coasting 40mph down hill. and then it was pedaling HARD downhill to go 15mph with headwinds pushing me backwards. all downhill is quite a myth as far as i can tell. but it was pretty and we made it eventually.
Quinn, don’t believe ’em, It’s never all downhill!
