August 5 Day 66 Capac (Emmett KOA) 64 miles 5:40 riding


Overcast all day. Sprinkles in the morning, turning to rain while we lunched in a cafe. Rain pretty much quit by the time we finished.


We saw moorhens along the road. No groceries or anything else available in Capac on Sunday. We cooked some sort of rice product from our emergency supplies.


In answer`s to Roy`s daughter Taylor`s question, the reason that Roy appears to be wearing the same white (turning to spotty beige) t-shirt in all the pictures is that Roy has worn the same t-shirt every day I can remember. Roy insists that he wore a different shirt once or twice in the early days while I wasn`t looking. Once he figured out that he could rinse out the same shirt every day and the restaurants would still let him in, he said `What`s the point of changing`. I`m not in a position to criticize this strategy much because I`ve worn one of two shirts every day for at least 50 days.


Here`s a photo of Roy stylin` with a plastic bag on his head under his helmet for riding in the rain.
Amish country, though we haven`t seen them. On a related note, the Manistique Museum had a note about its building. 110 years ago, a local person formed a socialist utopian society. Everyone would live in equal housing. But the building the museum is now housed in was an existing building. Why tear down a perfectly good building. I`ll just live in this building, said one member. Litigation ensued and the whole community collapsed in the wake.
