Mission Control...
This is Eco1...
Have passed through the New Brunswick wilds and have set camp 15 km west of Moncton. I'm in a secluded meadow with long grass, rimmed with maple, ash, and birch trees. The sort of place to have a romantic picnic - minus the roar of the nearby highway of course. It must be the happy pooping grounds of whitetail deer (saw two large females a few kilometres west) by the quantity of droppings about.
Humans are the craziest people. Today, as I stuggled to solve 'The Mystery of Two Flat Tubes', car after car would pass - at least 20 - honking and wavingat me. I think one gal even said she loved me. In fact...I'm sure of it.
Yet none of them stopped to see if they could help me - 30 km from the nearest service station. They couldn't really, but they didn't know that. And the gal couldn't know that I loved her too. But a guy sometimes needs time to yell, "I love you, too!!!" to a speeding girl in a 'I Wish These Were Brains' t-shirt.
Tomorrow, I hope to pick up another patch repair kit and some inner tubes from a bike store in Moncton, buy food, and head east toward the Confederation Bridge to PEI.
This is Eco1...Out.

Whooohooooo Bill, hah, I wish these were brains indeed. I can't believe no one stopped to see if there was anything they could help you with! Congratulations on the insanely fast progress you've been making, ccrrraaazzzyyy! Good luck with the last leg of the trip, hopefully it will be squirrel and bear free!
