Today. 40.03 miles, This Trip 383.75, bothe trips 1383.75
Our story is about over. Thank you to our family, friends, and those along the way who have supported us. It has really helped us continue and finish our journey. In a sense we wish this had all been done in consecutive 31consecutive days of riding. I guess it may gave been a more impressive story. But our purpose was never to impress. We just want to encourage people to always work to create your life, don't let your situation define you. We will take 31day and nearly 1,500 miles at the end of tomorrow. We have had a great time. We have struggled. We have missed family and friends. We have run across some characters and many wonderful people. What an experience!!!
Today we stopped around 9:30 in Momence, IL. We found a bar open for our rest stop. It was Mary Kay and I drinking a diet coke along with 5 guys drinking beer and watching a pool game. What a life. Our ride varied between busy roads and some nice country riding. The hills were more frequent, but nothing too bad. We were happy to reach the hotel early again, as the wind from the expected evening storms started kicking up. Once again it looks like prayers are helping and we will be able to start out on a nice morning.
Our plan is to start early and make it to Kouts in time for Sunday 8:30 mass. Then we will head to LaCrosse, Knox, and finally Lawrence Lake!
We started our trip with a theme of doing something for others, today. We had many "gifts" of support given to us along the way. It is fitting that we were able to return those gifts in small way to a young couple. Keep watching for your ways to help others.
Peace, Prayers, and Our Thanks,
Mary Kay and Jack
