Dearest "me",

As usual I am excited & flattered with your caring & descriptive writings, which I read at least three times over.

You & Carolyn are making big waves with your sincerity, modesty & capabilities. What a wonderful combination. The P.O. doesn`t treat postcards with the same speed as first class. Accordingly. I have received your cards of 7/15,17,22, & 23 as a group in 2 days . Your letters [I'm with you every second] of 7/23, 24, 25 arrived Fri/Sat [28&29]. Snail mail won't reach you until mid Ohio so I`ll send Email often, and update regularly with snail mail [in addition to the cards you already have].

Keep flying high & in the clear,

Your everlovin' Heee...

It's so interesting following your fantastic adventure. Thanks for the card from Council Bluffs. Cindee and I just returned from our Colorado tour- a terrific experience, but minuscule compared to your continental tour. We'll have lots of things to talk about when you return. Continue to have a safe and exciting journey!

Love, Joan and Cindee

Hello Dear Anne,

Really enjoyed seeing your pictures. Hope there will be more. Also, many thanks for the post card. Great to receive that. You all are really making some good time. Great to be able to keep tabs on you, and read all about how you are doing. We have Rick, Ellen, and the grandchildren here with us for the week - they are all staying over at Nancy & Skip's. Tomorrow we bring Skip's boat from a downtown marina out to the Pasadena Yacht Club Mariana, which they just expanded. Skip has Sea Gem up for sail, and hopes to find a buyer very soon. Best of luck as you continue on your way.

Much love, Fred

Annie,

Received your film roll today.Will process & keep for you. Southern Idaho fires under control, but we had our first close one today. While looking outside at the view I saw a large plume rise to the southwest, beyond the closest ridge, about a half mile away. air currents were taking the new & growing plumes toward the East which would hopefully bypass us. Chuck & Brad took off to find out if help was needed, while I telked with my sister Diana to assure her all would probably be ok. A careless farmer ignited a grass field at about 2:30 pm when the temp. was about 105. Fortunately, people responded quickly and a tractor cut a swath around the acreage befor control was lost. The fire is out

meuns-Heee

Hello Carolyn & Anne

I met you riding into Wahoo, Nebraska. I was heading from Colorado to RAGBRAI and was quite humbled when you told me what you were doing. Hell, I thought riding from Colorado through Iowa was a feat for a young buck like myself. You two are truly an inspiration. I looked for someone wearing your jerseys at RAGBRAI but didn't see anyone who fit the description you gave. I have told so many people about you two and am so glad I met you. I will be following your progress through the website. If you get a chance please email me, though I'm sure you have many to reply to and will understand if time does not permit. I'm back in Colorado now and telling your story to these Coloradoans who think they're fit and adventurous. People's jaws drop when I tell them your story. Keep it up!!
