Happy 25th Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!


Well, we had our third 90 mile day in a row which has definitely taken a toll on the team. Spirits are still really high but our legs are telling us otherwise! The ride was pretty nice with a lot of wildlife. We saw some deer and a ton of antelope, some that were very mature animals. Anyway, I'm sure most of you have seen rolling hills, well today was rolling mountains. It was pretty incredible how many up and downs we did today! We stayed in the local high school in Craig, which is a pretty nice little city. Pizza Hut hooked us up with some free pizza and pop in the afternoon and we all got a chance to go bowling before our friendship visit. The Friendship visit was a good time and was held at one of the local parks. The Lions Club cooked us taco dinner and we shared the evening with some people from Horizons Organization. One girl in particular was named Betsy. She is pictured at right and loved taking me around and showing me different things. She couldn't talk but her occasional nod and smile was good enough for me! Following the friendship visit we headed to the city park to check out the chainsaw carvings that were completed last weekend at some big festival they have every year. These things were incredible. Everything from penguins to mermaids to Pooh. The evening was concluded with everyone just relaxing or playing some pickup basketball in the gym. Needless to say, we are all looking forward to a shorter ride to Steamboat tomorrow!
