A day of unfortunate events
Last night my iPhone was stolen from me at Sunset Bay State Park. I filed a police report and left information with the park rangers, but there is little hope of seeing it ever again... That really was a huge downer for me, especially when combined with a day of the steepest hills in Oregon and a newly reclaimed BOB trailer. But I've had a lot of time miles behind the rest of the guys today to think about things. I've done all I can (changed passwords, monitored my credit card, etc.,), and stewing over it more is not doing any good. It's just a phone, and I have all the best photos and memories in my head. My "Choose Hope" button got me through today, along with some half-memorized British poems and a little Zen. Today I went from a 0/10 to a 7/10 in mood. I am doing well, and am near Humbug State Park tonight. At a library right now... Got to go. Love you guys! Should I get a new, now very expensive (not via an upgrade) iPhone in Brookings?

Sorry to hear of your predicament Cameron. Any backup on your computer or Find i-Phone app with Mobile Me? Sometimes it's not so bad to move on, start fresh. All must go better from here forward! Best,

Sorry Chimpers that really sucks but just goes to show we shouldn't put our lives into something so dispensible. I'm sure you can always get pics from the other guys too. I'm just bummed we can't talk to you for a bit. We have a for sale sign in our yard :C Enjoy the rest of your ride you have a long way to go. IDK if you should get another iphone it's up to you. Any smart phone you get is gonna be about that much anyways. Maybe you can get the 4G one now :D LOVE YOU!!
ReplyDeleteChin up, ol' boy! This is a small setback in the grand scheme of things. In about 40 years, with your grand kids in your lap listening to your biking adventures - the stolen iPhone will be but a small footnote.
ReplyDeleteGet a new one and move on!
...And keep writing!

ReplyDeleteHey Cam! Mom has a free iphone that we are going to Fedex to Lea's place in Mendocino, CA on the PCH so you can get it when you arrive in about 5 to 8 days. We'll try and get you a new sim card here and make sure it works. We'll send it on Tuesday so it will take at leased 5 days from today (Friday) to get it there. It should be there on Wednesday afternoon, July 7th. I hope you will take a day or two there because you can get some home cooking and hang out to rest weary muscles. You young men have a lot of folks cheering you on! Keep up your spirits, fill your bellies, take care of yourselves, and get some rest! Most of all be safe and have fun! Luv u!
