DAY 3 - Saturday, Sept 22 - DAILY QUOTES

 

Mary Schwimer

WOW our first day riding!!! Everything that could hurt did! My knee especially hurts from when I fell 2 weeks ago. I feel like I haven’t ridden in 6 months!! I only fell once though. And puppy did great except she got a little sick on my back while riding this morning. I am so glad I left my jacket on. She had a lot of fun barking at the cows this morning though but was good the rest of the day. Everybody was helpful and supportive it was so great to see Katherine & Christopher standing on corners yelling at us were to go and cheering us on. I had a hard time with all the hills, and David told me at lunch that we were done with hills for the day, YEAH RIGHT, even with Jesse’s help in the AM and Jeff all day I fell too far behind and had to be picked up to not miss the ferry. I still did between 75 & 80 miles for the day.  WOW everything hurts, I didn’t hurt this bad after the marathon!!!  And my voice is almost gone.  I am sooo tired and ready for bed!!!

  

Jody – I learned an important lesson today. I can’t depend on anyone or anything but the Lord. “Thank you Lord!” And “thank you” to all of you that have been praying for me! I’ve needed lots of prayer.

Dave – We’ve been blessed by not having any rain. We’re thankful for the great send off dinner the Sumas Church provided. We had a farewell prayer by Pastor Bob at the park in Sumas – a block from the border. We had a picture taken with our tires touching the fence. We had breakfast in the parking lot of the Bellingham AC Church. It was a tough ride from the border to the Old Fort Townsend State Park. We were entertained at the ferry by an interesting musical group that were headed to a festival in Port Townsend. The ferry was late and we had to ride the last few miles to the State Park in the dark.

Today was another 100 mile day with lots of hills and cool temperatures. We made it into our RV Park before dark though.

 

Jeremy - We started with our wheels touching the fence of the Canadian border it was pretty easy going, we went on a ferry I danced and performed on the ferry.
