A Welcome Site Too

Day 60, Wednesday, June 30, between downpours and cloud bursts, I crested a hill to the welcome site of the Virginia state line!!!

Last Encounter


As we exited Kentucky we camped with probably the last of the "westbounders" we will see. This site was at the Boonesville, Kentucky Presbyterian Church.

Country Road Take Me Home!

If all continues to go well, and after a few stops along the way to visit my Mother and some friends, I plan to pedal Route 211 East into Warrenton on the afternoon of Friday, August 8. I look forward to seeing my family and friends who have been so supportive of my adventure and sharing my stories and reponding to your blog messages.

Oh Kentucky Hills

Since entering Kentucky on Wednesday, July 23, we have covered over 430 miles of hills and mountains in the past six days! The scenery has been beautiful,, but the terrain is very difficult. One more day in Kentucky and we plan to enter VIRGINIA on Wednesday evening July 30, at Breaks Interstate Park !!!!!!

Some Good Dogs

There are some GOOD dogs in Kentucky. During a rest stop Mark, John and Tom met up with "Angel".

Unbridled Spirit and Unleashed Dogs

Welcome to Kentucky! On Wednesday, July 23, I ferried across the Ohio River from Illinois into the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The trek across Illinois only took two days!

Riding the Levee

Much of the morning of Tuesday, July 22, was spent pedaling atop the levee adjacent to the Mississippi River.
