Congrats on your trip!!!! The scenery is just breathtaking!!!! SO pretty!
Sounds like the underestimation of miles was a little...unexpected.I've been there before on an overnight tour.
So proud of you!! Congrats on your first successful tour! I'm so glad you like the BOB. I've been toying with the idea of getting one for groceries and to tour. I still can't decide.
So excited for you! You look fit, strong, and most of all: HAPPY!!!!!!

Lovely photos! Looks like so much fun, despite the surprise extra miles. Did you estimate how much your extra gear weighed? I would love to be strong enough for that kind of trip but I wonder if I ever will be.
Thanks for the trip report.

Congrats! Nice pictures - the leaves are beautiful. I just picked up an "almost new" BOB off Craigslist last week. I'm looking forward to some bike camping next year. I noticed the extra water bottles on your BOB. Did you add those?
Again - congrats on the ride!!!

Sounds, and looks, like you had a wonderful time! I think you picked the perfect time of the year, you had so many nice neighbors in the primitive campground

Congrats on doing your trip! I'm inspired...I might have waited too long for a camping trip for the season, the nights are cooooold....but I'm inspired. We'll see what I can come up with and when. Way to go!

Re: water bottles...
Yep I added the cages but there should be a place for you to do the same. It was definitely nice having the extras!
I can't wait till spring to head out on another adventure!Shelly
