Idaho-Utah border

we are looking out over bear lake..it sits on the border of utah and idaho.. and wyoming is not too far in the distance. we just spent the last 40 miles going up hill through logan canyon... a beautiful canyon full of wildflowers. towering rock walls. and a really cold river. utahh seemed to go by fast... but idaho will be a flash.. here we come Yellowstone.

  1. Hello courageous dudes! Excuse us if this gets posted twice. Shaky internet connection here.
    If you pass by Chicago on your wauy to NY you may want to give Catlin Barnes a call. I'm quite sure that she would love to see you guys. Here is her info: telephone 630.290.9408 and email info@catlinbarnes.com

    We really enjoyed the image of both of you sailing uphill with a tarp. I think that you guys should call National Public Radio and tell them about your blog. they need to interview you zany boys.
    We send all our love and best wishes. Stay safe. Go,boys,go! Forza ragazzi! Renzo says that he thinks that you will not have a culo left when you arrive in NYC.
    Baci e abbracci,
    Roberto e Donna

  2. Reading your blog has become an exciting and happy ritual for us here... Paulo says it's exciting and fun...like that "shark game", also known as, you know,"the game of shark". Your life-loving adventure makes me feel inspired and happy. Lots of major love to you and continued safe journeys.Wes

  3. Lions and Tigers and Bears--oh my! Or bears, at least! Watch out for the wild life! That gorgesous vista of flowers looks like something out of Oz--Emerald City could be on the horizon.

  6. So after I got off the phone with you the other day, Calen, I walked right back into the Falafel house to pick up my burger which had been sitting there for more than fifteen minutes getting cold and blissfully soggy. I handed the cashier a ticket and apologized profusely for talking on the phone and ignoring my order with the overzealous explanation that, "My friend called me, and I never get to talk to him because he is biking across the country?" To this she replied, "REALLY!? I have a friend that is doing that too!" As it turns out, she knows Nico through a friend of a friend. I gave her the address for the blog and went on my way...Anyway, just thought that I would let you know that you guys are getting famous around here. Keep truckin!

  7. Wow! I just started reading your blog. Always good to live vicariously through others. Bear Lake is a place I visit annually and in fact, I'm going in a week! It is absolutely beautiful. I hope you got to dip your toes in, at least. I'm always excited whenever anyone else has been to or even heard of Bear Lake. It's not exactly on the beaten path. Logan Canyon is great as well. My great-great-grandfather used to run the water system at the beginning of the canyon where the dams are. Nothing like that good Logan water! Have a great trip!

  9. Nico, Calen,
    We know some people in Iowa City who are very open sorts and would most likely put you up for a night or two when they hear of your great adventure. Both painters. He taught at U of Iowa for many years. Now retired. They spend a lot of time in Mexico so could be out of country. Shall I try to contact them and get you their info? We'll try to call soon.
    Forza!
    We send all our love to you both,
    Bob and Donna
