So today when I said I woke up on the wrong side of bed, I think that was an indication that I needed to stay in bed . Today was a bad day, but I'm happy it happened and I got through it. So I'm traveling down the Interstate making great time. I'm nearing a big town in Idaho, which means the shoulders starts to become filled with debris. Well a sharp piece of metal tore my tire a good 3 inches. I have spare tubes, but don't carry any spare tires, I know I should, and I will this week, with the money coming in, but the first week I had to budget. And I don't do patches. So the closest place the sold tires was Walmart, 3.7 miles away. I said ," welp, looks like I'm walking." I remained in good spirits even though I knew the 3.7 mile walk I had ahead would not be all that fun. I actually told my mom, after this adventure I'm never stepping foot onto another bike haha, that may of been a bit drastic, but it was in the heat of the moment. I ended up walking all the way to Walmart which took a little over an hour, and bought a new thicker and wider tube. I put it on, and pumped up my tire and kept on going, I still had 20 miles to go after all of that.
Now I'm happy that I got to my camp site that I wanted to get to, but it's the most expensive one yet, and by far the worst campsite. It's literally a square space of sand. It's okay though, I'm thankful I have a place to rest my head. And it's not to far out of town where I can go get something to eat. I added a picture below of my camp spot
Now I'm going to spend the rest of my day editing tomorrow vlog, go eat, and replying to everyone's comments!!!😊🚴🏻
I hope everyone had a great day, stay blessed 😊🙏🏻
Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry you had trouble on the road. I came to check on you as I like to pop in on my peeps and just saw you resteemed my blog. 🤣 Thank you for your support! And of course, we are keeping you in our prayers.

Perhaps every 3 days or so you should rest in a small town for a day or two. That way you'll have time to meet the locals and spread the STEEM gospel. Try not to overextend yourself -- most importantly -- HAVE FUN.

I was thinking of also getting some cards made up, kind of like business cards, that has steemit information on it. Makes it easier for people to remember after I tell them my story to go home and look it up! I'm surprised that 95 percent of the people I've come across has been over the age of 50-55. Our generation doesn't go outside it seems anymore.

LOL, the epidemic is real. I usually only leave my house to get the mail or food.
I was contemplating the same thing earlier today. I'm actually out my house and on vacation in Albuquerque, New Mexico and every Uber driver I meet I always bring up STEEMIT/Bitcoin/crypto and it's pretty much information overload for most of them. It'll be easier just to give them a business card.

I agree with this 100%. I think resting in a small town for a day and educating locals about Steemit would help getting people more interested in joining. I also think the extra rest is good for your body since you're just given'er so far. Thank you @fulltimegeek for giving Lukin so much support and thank you @Lukinsawyer for being the dopest Steemian there is!

Thanks for that tip!! When I edit my videos in a wifi area, I will continue to do that!!
Yeah, it was a rough day yesterday, but all the struggles are just small tests, and If I pass, that negative energy gets put aside for positive energy to arise!!
Hope you and yours are all good, stay blessed brother.

I just believe if I react in a way that's negative, it'll make more negative energy accessible to my life. So I basically make myself be patient and just breathe...haha.

So, you made it to our home grounds. I wish you had not had such a cruddy go of things. Under the circumstances, the Boise Bitcoin Meetup is tomorrow night at 7 if you can stand it. I can give you directions. Going to help upvote and resteem etc. If you are near exit 57, we would gladly buy you a big hearty meal or send you continuing with snacks and gu shots and new socks. If we had known I'm sure it would have been okay to set up camp here and save $. But for today, saying prayers, hoping you rest and keep on steeming!!! You can do it and if home needs you, you can get a Steem team to bike with you and continue after!!!

Dang it, I wish I looked at this sooner! That's what I get for not being around Wifi 24/7. Yeah, It didn't start well, but overall the day ended quite nice! I got some great rest, and made it to Mountain Home today, in a nice hotel!!! :)
