We rolled into Logan yesterday after a 96 mile ride from Kemmerer, WY. We had one big climb, but it seemed to go quicker due to our motivation to get home. Bob, Jenny's dad, met us on his recumbent bicycle about 15 miles up Logan Canyon and we had a pleasant ride into town. Bob and Kathy set up welcome signs next to the road and we felt very happy to have such a warm welcome.
We spent the last week riding from Montrose to Logan. We were not able to do any blog posts because it was probably some of the most remote country that we've ridden through the entire trip. We had a couple 50-60 mile stretches where there were no services and we had to haul extra water. During these stretches we were praying extra hard for no flat tires or bike malfunctions. Happily, each day went very well and the bike performed excellently.
Our total mileage at this point is 4,718.5. It was hard to get exact numbers from state highway maps. We are committed to reaching the 5,000 mile mark and are planning a couple rides in Colorado to get there by the end of September.
We got a call from Jim Hicks, President of Thirst Relief International, yesterday and he announced the very exciting news that our fundraising efforts are getting close to the $10,000 mark!!!!
This totally exceeded our expectations and we are amazed by everyone's generosity. We plan to stay involved with the work of Thirst Relief and continue advancing their cause to "Save lives and Change the World." Thirst Relief International will still accept donations (tax-deductible) online or by mail. Check out their website at www.thirstrelief.org and sign up to be on their mailing list for more information about future events.
Here are a couple pictures from the tail end of our journey...

We are elated and relieved to have our riders "home" even though we know their visit will be short and they will continue to have similar outdoor adventures in their new home in Montrose Colorado.
Jenny and Scott- Congrats! Job well done. I bet you are glad to be home. I am sitting in Honesdale PA in a small library checking my e-mail while on vacation. You proud Dad sent an email tell us of your arrival. So I had to link on one more time to this blog and just wish you a good move to your new home. Congats again of accomplishing such a great goal you both had.
Love Matt
You guys ROCK!
Amazing, simply amazing.

We may succeed in provisionally terminating the sum of energy of http://startso11.info/ww.oke.edu.pl.html our waking thoughts by deciding to go to sleep.. I'm glad to hear it, http://startso11.info/www.sokrtes.net.pl.html said the Major heartily.. After the double had become a matter of course, for nearly twelve months before he undid me, what a year it was! Full of active life, full of happy love, of the hardest work, of the sweetest sleep, and the fulfilment of so many of the fresh aspirations and dreams of boyhood! Dennis went to every school-committee meeting, and http://startso11.info/maxsimus.html sat through all those late wranglings which used to keep me up till midnight and awake till morning.. Why didn't he wait till another time when the deacon was alone, as he was? If she had her way she never would, speak to Squire http://startso11.info/listwy+z%C4%99bate.html Hopkins again, nor to his wife, either.. This was on the day of the dream; and the http://startso11.info/awd.html concert was to take place on the day on which she told me the dream.. Come on, urged the black-eyed http://startso11.info/oiutytre.html boy.. We'll settle this http://startso11.info/www.mimibayar.sk.html business in very short order now.. The sagacity of the low creatures whom she had despised showed them at once that the letters must be hers, since her character had been pretty shrewdly guessed, and the handwriting wore a more practised air than http://startso11.info/Wyszukaj+WWW.KURNIK.html is usual among females in the country.. This feeling of dread here replaces dream displacement; I regarded the dream http://startso11.info/co+to+jest+rwa+kulszowa.html work as having prevented this in the dream of the second class.. Ah! I am http://startso11.info/www.fc+porto.pr.html relieved, my dear madam! I could hardly conceive a man ignorant enough to--er--er--throw away such evident good fortune--or base enough to deceive the trustfulness of womanhood--matured and experienced only in the chivalry of our sex, ha! The woman smiled grimly.. that there is first the transferred dream-wish, then the distortion of the censor, and consequently http://startso11.info/hurtownie+mi%C4%99sa.html the change of direction to regression, and so on.. S'posen you speak to http://startso11.info/www.orangeon-line.pl.html her 'bout it.. Babe brought a lamp and set it inside http://rebestal.info/chromowanie.html the window, and Mr.. I continued by saying that if she only had a man with such a virile genital she would not have to fear the officers--that is, she would have nothing to wish from them, for she is mainly kept from going http://startso11.info/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.milanos.pl%2Fvideo.php%3Fcat%3D1%26id%3D1604.html without protection and company by her fancies of temptation.. The dream http://startso11.info/funkcja+kwadratowa.html becomes capable of a new interpretation, if in the dream she does not intend herself, but her friend, if she has put herself in the place of her friend, or, as we may say, has identified herself with her friend.. The mortification brought on thirty years ago, after having gained access http://startso11.info/www.spectrum.net.html to the unconscious affective source, operates during all these thirty years like a recent one.. Another publisher who read the manuscript of the Anecdotes and Reminiscences thought that, with http://startso11.info/pkp-+rozk%C5%82ady+jazdy.html a little retouching and toning down of the high lights, he could make a really bright and salable volume of it.. Let a rich stream http://startso11.info/czluchow.html of conversation flow.. We have solved the riddle of the superabundant dream content compressed within the briefest moment by http://startso11.info/dekoracja.html explaining that this is due to the appropriation of almost fully formed structures from the psychic life.. Pike as a http://startso11.info/portal+randkowy+love.html means rather than an end...
Scott- that's awesome! I randomly saw your name in a blurb in USU alumni magazine about your ride, amazing. Congratulations to you both!
