My first helicopter trip! What a rush!

Many thanks to...

Several folks deserve some special recognition for different reasons.

Natalie, my wife, you are SO WONDERFUL! I'll be home "soon." (Next month???)
Josh, my tech guy (son) who puts up with simple, dumb questions asked for the 8th time.
Karla, my graphics person for the neat business cards!
Stacey, for taking care of her Mom!

Jon Hardisty, on the phone motorcycle mechanic!
Travis and the whole crew at University Motors in Fargo, ND.
"Ya'll are great!"
All the guys at Town and Country Motorsports in Murray, KY.
Jason at ASK Motorsports in Columbus, OH.
Greg and his crew at Riders Edge in Gettysburg, Pa.
I appreciate the QUICK service.

My church family at Fairfield Baptist in Eugene, OR who are continually lifting me
to "the throne of grace" for a safe and fun trip!

The wonderful folks of Kingston and Harriman, TN who took great care of me
as a result of Day #75's little "mishap."

August 4, 2007

0 miles today
2770 miles total

Got to bed late last night after arriving here about 7:00 or so.
So good to finally be here. And I don't have to set up and tear
down everyday. That's a welcome break! They are so gracious
to me, too! Great hosts!

Went to Terry's Sat. AM prayer group with a couple of
other guys from his church. After that and breakfast, the
Kraus family and I took a ride up into the surrounding hills.
We went to Bishop's Castle, a rock "castle" being built by a
local eccentric, which sits on government land as I
understand it. What a site! I guess the guy has been
working on it since the early 70's. He posts his political views
about the government on several large signs around the site.

Later in the day we drove into Peublo to get some supplies.
We met Amber (their daughter) at Borders and chatted for
over an hour. In the meantime, the rain blew in and we drove
home in a downpour. By the time we got to their home in Rye, CO
the rain had quit. We spent the evening after dinner just visiting
and catching up since it had been a couple of years since we'd
been together.
