First I need to make a correction, I posted yesterday that we stayed with Pastor Robert and Holly, well I was wrong it was Dolly(as in Pardon) not Holly(as in wood), sorry guys!
Today was a rough day I think the last 2 long days caught up to us. By the time we had 30miles in we were both exhausted we decided to call it quits at about 54 miles. We are staying in the town of Covington, La. which just happens to be having a soccer tournament this weekend and most of the hotel rooms were booked so forget about getting a deal. We are trying to find a campground for sun or mon night ti try out our new tents. We have been telling everyone about our mission and handing out the business cards, so it's in God's hand to see what happens.
Update on yesterday we got to go through Pascagoula and took a picture of the First Baptist Church(you know the one- where the squirrel went bazerk).
Kind of felt cheated when we got to La. today, there was no "Welcome To Louisana" sign guess we will have to turn the other way when we get to Texas and take a pic. of the sign there.
We have about 260 miles left, should be 4 more days.
I am about to attempt adding pics. to the blog so if you see them I was sucessful, if you dont I will show them to you when we get back.
Jerry is staring at the La. bike route map which seems to have absolutely no bike routes where we are but it does say we will have 4' shoulders.
Please pray for Richard, Andrea and Kayla and also that Jerry and I will continue on safely.
Until tomorrow,
Tracy and Jerry

Highway 190 doesn't look very nice to ride. Espedially in the wind. I hope the wind will subside tomorrow and let you guys get some miles in. 54 miles with a head-on wind is a lot! You guys are tough! I'm so thankful you are safe. Stay alert out there. I'm praying that angels surround you and guard you. Rest well. Love you! Patti
ReplyDeleteStay strong and encouraged. Every pedal you take is showing your love and effort. There is no shame in resting, Jesus tells us to do it every week. Take a break and enjoy! You are an inspiration to many.
ReplyDeleteGreetings! It was good to see so many pix this time! I enjoyed them. I notice the sunny days but also those bandanas---must be kinda windy. I think you all are making fantastic progress! Hope you found some good accommodations last night. I just know angels are going beside you----even on those roads with no or narrow shoulders.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the (pedal) power of the weak. :)
Wow! You are closin' in on your goal! Keep up the good work. Been praying for your safety and that you will be encouraged and have energy to complete your task. May God bless you in the contacts you will make tomorrow. All the best, and be careful!
