It’s Myrna here – as I mentioned earlier today on Facebook, today is the first day we’ve had contact with Owen since Sunday. He was able to send some messages via text and Facebook. We haven’t had phone contact since Wednesday. It’s odd not hearing Owen’s voice and difficult not being able to contact him to tell him how things are going at home.
Owen’s workplace, OnApproach, has been most supportive in letting Owen take leave to go on this epic adventure. From what I understand, Engagement Manager Pete purchased all of the Tour Divide maps and is keeping track of Owen’s progress at work. I believe he’s posted the maps in the break room and is doing daily reports. Today he sent me a picture of where Owen was eating lunch before Owen told me where he was eating lunch (picture obtained through google maps, I believe). It’s great to know that Pete and so many others of you are following Owen on his ride. Thanks to everyone who is cheering Owen on!!
Anyway – here’s a note from Owen from earlier today:
I’m at Jax Cafe (In Eureka, MT) eating the best meal in days. Hot soup and grilled tuna sandwich. Wish I had room for more. There is a grocery store and Subway a couple miles back that I will resupply at. Will cycle on and camp again maybe after Whitefish Divide.
