jumping to the present

Here's the episodes currently at the end of the queue for you - including the return of 200 Miles Before Breakfast after a bit of a hiatus.

CTH 73 - Mike Mandell of Motorcycle Express

200MBB 18 - Art Jacobson, member since 1972

CTH 72 - MMXXMC
<iframe style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/12558611/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/backward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/f7ac06/" height="90" width="100%" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe>
 
I've tried pod casting several times now but only manage to tangle line with bait in trees. Have never been lucky catching any fishšŸ˜«šŸ˜‚
 
Wait ... I'm supposed to be catching fish with these things?? Pretty sure I'm doing it wrong :)

Here's a new episode, featuring the Mileage Contest's "average female," Cathy Brown of Edmonton, Alberta.

<iframe style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/12948656/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/backward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/87A93A/" height="90" width="100%" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe>

Cathy mentions the Glacier Highway, but I think she meant to say the <a href="https://icefieldsparkway.com/" target="_new">Icefields Parkway</a>, because she mentions it connects Jasper and Banff. She mentions the Lolo Highway, aka <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g45256-d143845-Reviews-Highway_12-Lolo_Montana.html" target="_new">Montana Highway 12</a>, and <a href="https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/ab/elkisland" target="_new">Elk Island National Park</a> as places you might want to visit someday.

As with almost every episode, Cathy dishes about her favorite places in Edmonton, Alberta, to eat, including the <a href="https://www.highleveldiner.com/" target="_new">Highlevel Diner</a>, <a href="http://gidgetsbistro.com/" target="_new">Gidget's Bistro</a>, <a href="https://www.themothcafe.com/" target="_new">The Moth Cafe</a>, the <a href="http://www.blueplatediner.ca/" target="_new">Blue Plate Diner</a>, and <a href="https://www.cafemosaics.com/" target="_new">Cafe Mosaics</a>. If you ever go to Edmonton, you better go hungry!

That is way to close to a bison to be stopping a motorcycle. :scratch Youtube has some great videos like the one of the HD rider who honked and then got himself and his bike tossed into the ditch. I also like the one where the car got pushed sideways into the ditch, or the one where the RV got a big hole in the side.
 
Too close

That is way to close to a bison to be stopping a motorcycle. :scratch Youtube has some great videos like the one of the HD rider who honked and then got himself and his bike tossed into the ditch.

Reminds me of the time riding in Yellowstone where a large group of cars were stopped and an idiot female was walking up the hill to get a closeup shot of a grizzly bear digging for grubs. A Park Ranger showed up in time and thoroughly ripped her a new one for being so stupid. "too bad that nature didn't get to exercise it's edict, survival of the fittest", I thought to myself.

Voni and I once came upon a bear clog (cars everywhere so folks can look at a bear). A lady was taking her one year (or so) old child up to a bear cub to take a picture of the kid and the bear together. Momma bear was nearby. We simply rode away as fast as we could because neither of us like blood, and interminable witness forms when stupidity is overcome by nature. This was years ago and I still wonder how stupid people manage to survive for so long.

In Custer Park in the Black Hills I have woven my way through a heard of bison that thought the road was a good place to hang out. We were within inches of them. They didn't seem to care if they even noticed.
Another time I passed one going about 55 MPH rolling around a blind corner. It was a big bull and he was just standing in the road. I hit the brakes to stop, but I would have stopped right next to him, so I down shifted and rolled on by clearing him by 3-4 feet. I am not sure if he even woke up.
 
Tried and failed to find and download via Pandora

I'll see what I can do about getting the show into Pandora. Meantime, it's about everywhere else!

Hey all - doing my best to put out one episode a week of each podcast while we're all doing this social distancing/stay at home thing.

Episode 25 of 200MBB features Siouxzanne Harris of Don't Want a Pickle, member since 1991
