I imagine it was reassuring to him to have a familiar person there to talk to in his typical, understated way. We went hiking after he returned: http://akbikegirl.blogspot.com/2009/07/all-or-nothing-part-ii.html<br /> He even hopped on a bike within a week of his return to Anchorage.<br /><br />Still the same Pete.<br />Have a good soggy.<br />rosebikegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05774265628828868112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-7475483286358640922009-07-22T15:44:31.322-06:002009-07-22T15:44:31.322-06:00Been away for a while...epic journey - physically,...Been away for a while...epic journey - physically, emotionally, spiritually...glad you made it back, well and intact by all accounts...your future's bright, embrace it and enjoy the ride...Been catchin' up on the blog while listening to Jeffrey Foucalt's 'Ghost Repeater', would be a great single for the opening credits of an indie movie account of your experiences...Check it out...Peace...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-39353875058643961632009-07-22T15:14:08.916-06:002009-07-22T15:14:08.916-06:00Congratulations again....excellent reading !Congratulations again....excellent reading !littlemikemackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13957237894182413164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-26691161065429010982009-07-22T07:22:49.493-06:002009-07-22T07:22:49.493-06:00Crikey.

Keep it coming, and I'm relieved to read that Pete's injuries weren't as severe as you thought. News or images of any bike wreck makes me wince, and puts knots in my belly. It's just too close for comfort, you know?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564635813275076522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-7740233194374023322009-07-21T12:10:29.682-06:002009-07-21T12:10:29.682-06:00Sorry about not updating the info on Pete.

I guess that's in the "New Mexico" chapter and I forgot that not all of the people who read this blog know what happened. <br /><br />Pete actually turned out amazingly fine for the severity of the accident. I believe he had a broken collarbone and arm fracture, lots of cuts and bruises, but nothing longterm. He's back in Anchorage recovering.<br /><br />It took me a full day to find that out, but I was hugely relieved when I did.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-85543633849339315192009-07-21T12:02:04.092-06:002009-07-21T12:02:04.092-06:00Sorry about Pete.
