Is this my final blog?

So the next few days will involve camping and so little internet, so this may be the last you hear from me on the interweb.

The rides have began to decrease in mileage and we have even got in the van a couple of times due to having to ride on the interstate. We are now staying in Spokane and we had a scavenger hunt due top the 38 mile distance. Today, as part of Team Celtic Cafe, I have collected pennies from 1971 to 2010, sat in a Dodge Viper, ridden a moose statue, danced with a stranger, got to perform the Bike and Build Peanut/Chamois butter chant with a basketball team and some other stuff.

To enlighten you on the Chant, which was devised by me and so everyone puts on a really bad British accent...

Caller: Bike and Build, Bike and Build!
All: Peanut Butter ( accompanied by spreading action )
Caller: Bike and Build, Bike and Build!
All: Chamois Butter ( accompanied by spreading action )
Caller: Bike and Build, Bike and Build!
All: Peanut Butter ( accompanied by spreading action )
Caller: Bike and Build, Bike and Build!
All: Chamois Butter ( accompanied by spreading action )
Caller: 1,2,3
All: (insert appropriate place name etc...)

This is a bit infamous among our group.

We began our scavenger hunt in Coeur d'Alene which is a great lakeside town, lots of art galleries, bars, interesting shops... and we got to stay there for two days due to our final build day. On which we didn't build. As the local Habitat had failed to get a build permit, we were sent to Spokane by van to work in the Re-store, a huge series of warehouses that re-uses building materials and sells on donated items for the affordable housing cause.

Thanks to Mum and Dad for the letters. My phone has not revealed itself so I will sort that out when I return to the UK.

Of course I will update as soon as I get the internet again.
