I am from Indiana and read your story in the local tribune from Logansport, IN. I am inspired by your journey and wish you the best. I am 46 and planning a similar cross country trip on my bicycle right now with a HS friend. This is incredible and safe travels.
Prayers,

Good evening Donita. Thank you for following us and your kind words. Congratulations in your upcoming cycling adventure. Let us know if you will be blogging so we can follow.
It’s been fascinating following your journey. Grant pulled the map out, and he showed me your path. The river jags in and out for a LONG way. What memories your are making!
Great to hear from you guys. Thanks for following!
Great job guys , keep up the great work . After I quit school @ 16 I took my motorcycle three months after I got my drivers license and drove 7000 miles in 16 days . This was where I started my love for my bikes , what a trip of a life time . ENJOY your journey !!! Be safe
Thanks, Greg. These trips of a lifetime are truly life changing. There’s a really good chance we will be done in time for the reunion- hope to see you there!
“Where we are now”-wilderness. Love it,,,,,
We have enjoyed following you on this journey. Jealous that you were able to see so many Eagles on you way! Be safe. Have fun!
Great to hear from you. Yes, the wildlife had been pretty cool. Great Egrets are the thing here now.
Hi John and LaNae, It was a pleasure meeting you both today on the levee across from LSU in Baton Rouge. We did find the Eagle nest just a little downriver from your campsite, but no eagles. Anyway Bernard and I wish you both a fine voyage on this the final leg of your journey.
Thank you for taking time to reach out to us and for the encouragement. Now that you know where the nest is, hopefully, you’ll see an eagle there sometime.
Praying for you safety every morning…. so excited for you two that you will be finished this before your est date……
Keep Paddling strong..
Praying the ministers funds are growing because of your faith and courage to do this!!!!!
