Home Again!

After several flight delays and gate changes I made it home at 8:30 pm on 9/12/09. I'm now in re-entry mode~translated that means that every time I sit down for 10 minutes, I fall asleep. I'm staying with my dear friend Gloria Leonard in SLC for a few days and spending time visiting family. Will return to Hurricane on Thursday.

I have many great stories to blog so stay tuned~~~~~

We DID IT!

On Thursday about 3:00 pm we did the ceremonial dipping of the front bicycle tire in the salty Atlantic water! What a rush.

WoW~only four more days of cycling

Tonight we're staying in a lovely mountain cabin in Rochester, Vermont hosted by author Jill Lauren and her husband Charlie Cohen. We met them at the bakery this morning, began talking and they invited us to stay. They took us to the most wonderful community theater production by a Vermont theater company called Bread and Puppet.

Jill's new book is "That's Like Me!" true stories about amazing people with learning disabilities will be on the market next week~my shameless plug for a wonderful author.

More later folks,

Climbing the Adirondacks~Up and Down

Today we're in Boonville, New York. I'm a little (a lot) behind on my blog because we don't see many libraries in these woods. We spent a week in Wisconsin, two weeks in Ontario, Canada, and now another week in New York since leaving Chicago. The operational word for this part of the USA is GREEN! Yesterday I felt fall in the air and today I see a few red leaves. We're right on target to finish in about two weeks. Will fill in between the lines of my blog after I return. We have had some wonderful experiences with people along the way~"Road Angels" who help us with everything from directions to a place to stay and eat. I'm very healthy and happy. Bike Friday is performing quite well but will really need a good over haul when I get home.

The Mississippi River in North Dakota where it flows as slowly as molasses.

Lutheran Church in which we stayed for the night during a big storm in Chester, MT.
