The Tent
We can’t go any longer on this trip without talking about our tent. As you know, Peter Glenn of Vermont is one of our trip sponsors, and we have blessed them so many times, I can’t even count. They donated a Columbia Raptor (actually it’s the Cougar Flats model) – which must be the king …
Bendavis MO
July 27th, 2006 Today was a new twist on things. Chelsea and I were so exhausted after yesterday that we couldn’t even move this morning. We woke up, and went right back to sleep. After talking about it, we decided to have Alex take us to the next stop, and give ourselves a recovery day. …
Jacks Fork (Eminence) MO
July 26th, 2006 Yesterday (I’m writing this from Bendavis, MO) Chelsea and I rode absolutely the toughest miles of our trip to date.

Golaconda IL, Rauchfauss Campground
July 18th, 2006 We started out with good attitudes on Tuesday the 18th, but it became clear very quickly that Chelsea’s derailleur was not working properly. After struggling up one particularly steep hill, we realized we needed a bike shop, and going back to Grand Rivers was our best bet. Alex picked us up and …
