Kevin, with
his friends Neal and Ruth who came down all the way from Toronto to ride
with us for one day; now that is friendship!!!
Ok let's face it you don't think about low bridges much unless you drive
a big RV; our support team had to drive quite a detour or we would have
had a convertible RV!! [hey; not bad for the Florida Coast in about a
week!]
Brooklyn [my
wonderful daughter] here is another beautiful horse we saw!!
Success! Another
big day making it to Navasota; about 30 miles ahead of schedule!
Two new support
crew joined us today; Alison, Kevin's sister [shown here driving], and
Eric. Kevin's good friend [shown here on the bike], will help out Jennifer
and the duties my brother Kenn was doing. Kenn has gone back to see his
family; we will miss him!!
