Tomorrow's the Day

We are in Whitefish, MT, about 60 miles from our starting point in
Rooseville, MT. We will drive to Eureka, about 7 miles from the
border to stay tonight. The butterflies in our stomachs have been
growing as we get closer and closer. There is little time
to turn around now. We stopped at an outfitter and bought our bear
spray and got instructions on how to use it, which we hope we won't
have to. By tomorrow at this time, we will be committed.
The dogs are antsy after three days of sitting in the van. A
drive like this makes us realize what a large and diverse country we
have. Dick and Jan have been great in getting us out here
safely. We thank them.
After driving through 100 degree heat in the plains, the weather here
at the higher elevations (where we'll be) is pleasantly cool. We
may even be cold in the evening. We will get back to you as quick
as we can.

In
1998, we rode across the United States from Oregon to Virgina with our
children, Jodie, age 15 and Todd, age 12. Read about our trip
using the links below. Now the kids have grown up and left
home, so we we are taking the dogs. This time it's a mountain
bike trip through the Rocky Mountains, roughly following the
continental divide, called the Great Divide route, mapped by 
oments as well. Why do we do this? Because God has given
us a wonderful country and this is the best way to be thankful for
it.
