Greg Hullinger Update: Thought Id better let you know where Im at and whats going on. Last week came down from Johannesburg, CA, with a bad tooth ache and food poisoning then hit 25 to 30 mph headwinds out of the south for 4 solid days. Made it to Barstow, CA went to see Dr. Robinson, a Barstow family dentist, he took X rays and told me I need a root canal. He also gave me a script for a type of penicillin and that seems to stave off the infection. Id like to wait until I get back to Florida to have major dental done. I really appreciate him seeing me on emergency short notice. I took 3 to 4 days off, rented a car and drove a whirlwind tour of the National Parks in Utah and Arizona. Bryce Canyon, Zion, Escalante, Red Rock, North Rim, Grand Canyon, you will be seeing videos and pics in the future. I would not have made it by bicycle to these parks before winter set in and I dont do cold weather bicycling. Im skipping over the desert states and am starting the bike again in Shreveport Louisiana back to Titusville, Fl. Throughout the Sierra Nevada Mountains I maintained a bike and gear rolling weight of about 365 to 385 lbs. up and down the different mountain passes. This includes my weight, also Ive been shipping boxes back home to lighten the load, heavier winter gear etc. I just shipped the Bob yak trailer and am hopeful the lighter load and with mountains behind me I will be able to make better time. I would like to be back by Nov. 1 to Nov. 15, Lord willing. In Tucson, AZ bought 2 new Thule front panniers (bags) and a front bike rack, to haul some of the stuff I had in the trailer. Bikeshophub has their shipping warehouse here and they really helped me out a lot. They have a great assortment of bike stuff. I still have plenty to see along the way, look forward to seeing the South from a bicycle and will be sending more information in the future.
