Day 86 - Blueberry Station

Today my emotions got the better of me. I'm sorry Mom that I cried. Its just that I'm feeling a bit tired and this time I knew I wasn't going to see you for a long time. I watched my parents drive east and I had to keep going west. I missed them already and I felt lonely for the first time. I was having a moment and had to snap out of it and pull myself together.

Once I got going and started to hear the sounds of the honks I refocused myself. I had to keep my eyes and my heart on what I was doing. It was slow getting through the construction zone. Pushing Gidget thru the freshly graded gravel was sometimes difficult. I was happy to reach the city centre. I thought about my cousin Kim and her husband Lorenzo and how great they had been these past few days having me and my parents stay with them. I stayed in the camper they had in the yard.

I started heading west out of the city when an older couple stopped and showed their support. It was nice chatting with them. I had to take hwy 55 thru Whitefish and back onto hwy 17 after the 4 lanes ended. A nice couple had offered me accomodations if I didn't have any for the night. I reached Blueberry Station, almost 30 miles, and phoned John & Susan. Their daughter Rose picked me up. They had a beautiful home in the country just off the highway. They would relay me thru and help me out for the next two nights.
