When we came up highway 22 the first time at the end of May, we stopped at Thunder Valley Ranch to fill our waterbottles. Judy and Larry, a lovely couple, kindly filled them for us and as we were about to leave, Judy asked us if we wanted some muffins. Larry had just made some. Sure we would love some muffins (it also happened to be James' birthday that day). The muffins were sooooo delicious we decided to stop by again on the way back to get the recipe (Cranberry Orange muffins mmmmm).
We did not expect to get such a warm and excited welcome! They said they have people stop by quite often but they never return. When we asked for the recipe Larry did not just give us the print out but also offered to bake a batch of muffins if we were willing to hang around for an hour. What's an hour. We got loads of time. Of course we will wait. So we got the honour of helping Larry make those wonderful muffins, all of them we were allowed to take with us. As they were baking we were fed delicious chicken sandwiches while Judy showed us her nice crochet projects. Thanks you SOOO MUCH Larry and Judy. You made our trip down highway 22 very memorable. I hope to come and do some crocheting on my way back home.
For the batter lovers out there, I can assure you I ate enough of this delicious stuff to meet my and your quota!

Well fed and satisfied we hit the road again. My set up has changed slightly since I started so I decided to include a pic of my dear Bicyclette here. She was adorned with a pretty flower bouquet from Michaels Craft store a few days ago. I get compliments for it everywhere, its great!

After a very long, windy ride we found refuge in a carwash bay in Lundbreck. Here I am cooking dinner. We ended up sleeping in there too. It was well protected and quiet and the locals just gave us the thumbs up when we emerged next morning. For once we had a clean floor to sleep on!!!
