I received a voice mail from Chuck in which he told me that in the last couple days they have made their way further east across Santiam Pass to Sisters, OR. They met a couple by the names of John and Perry DeVille who they spent a couple of days with. This couple is pictured above.
So, they did get a flat on Saturday. I'm not sure the details about it; don't know what caused it. But, one thing Chuck made a point to remark is how good people can be, as they were on the road experiencing some difficulty with the pump, someone graciously stopped to lend them the necessary help. The trip continues as expected.

I talked to Leah last night. Leah got a flat tire on Saturday and apparently it took a while for Chuck and Leah to get into the next town to get it repaired. She said that the problem was under inflation, and a part was missing from her pump so that had to hitch into the next town, She had to pop for a new tire, a new tube and a new pump with a gauge that will help her determine tire pressure. The word is that they are having a fabulous time, meeting wonderful friends and except for these minor difficulties and they are averaging about 50 miles a day.
Thanks for the details. That really stinks about the pump, but I'm glad it worked out. Every message Chuck leaves me he remarks on how much fun they're having.
