What a journey! The team is doing great. Our riders are awesome and enduring a lot. Yesterday, they climbed over 10,000 feet. We encountered elk, porcupines, and DOGS! Bill Edmonds was chased by a dog and crashed after the dog caught him. His shoulder is very sore. He may have a tear in his muscles? But, he is back out there this morning, riding for all of our NF heroes.
Today, one of the follow vehicles had mechanical problems. Connie is at the shop waiting for repair. Hopefully the transmission will not need replaced.
Two of the riders left Taos NM this morning. we will be heading to Kansas where we hear the heat is really though. We would appreciate any prayers for endurance and safety! We are "calling on all angels."
We have passed the 1,000 mile mark. 1/3 of the way there.
Have a great day!
Lesley
