The goat heads (also called tack weeds) are very bad from milepost 137 to milepost 140. My friend had both tires go flat right across from the old Smyrna school house. My tires did not go flat because I have green slime, thorn proof tubes and a Mr Tuffy in each wheel. Switch to the county road in this section. It is very user friendly and the scenery is just as great.<br />ByronByron Robertsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094176709529713758.post-52563430243015217082018-01-16T07:47:55.929-08:002018-01-16T07:47:55.929-08:00Hello, Pat.
I've been a lurker on your posts...Hello, Pat. <br /><br />I've been a lurker on your posts for years now, since around the time I first started dreaming of a JWPT cross-state adventure. Your posts were the first, most detailed posts I found. And they kept the flame of adventure alive. In any event, this is the year I tackle the odyssey. I've begun putting in longer miles on the commuter. I've requested and received both permits. I've planned the course and even visited two or three sections of the trail to reconnoiter. Anyway, I had one question for you. I went out to Smyrna yesterday in honor of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and tried to pinpoint goathead ground zero. (In a prior life, I had a lot of experience with the buggers and wanted to avoid a general engagement.) Can you give me a general idea of which side of Smyrna I can expect to find the goatheads? I know you rode east to west. (I'll be riding west to east.) Are the goatheads just east of the Smyrna school house or just west? My goal is to figure out where to hit the road and bypass the sealant adventures everyone speaks of. <br /><br />Thanks, Derek<br />425.395.5117Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06025289234896089287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094176709529713758.post-48670980577413261702017-09-14T00:09:06.438-07:002017-09-14T00:09:06.438-07:00www.jessicayurinko.com

I left at 3pm on Saturday 8/8/15 and arrived at my house in downtown Spokane at 4:35pm Wednesday, 8/12/15. Pat S. your wonderful, detailed blog was instrumental in my planning. Thank you! I even wore a straw "cowboy" hat in your honor. Cheers, and best to everyone doing this amazing route. Lots of wildlife, even in the dead heat of summer.

That would get us from Idaho to the coast (around 500 miles total). <br />Would you mind emailing me privately?
