10:00 pm...safely home with the car unloaded. That is is not sorted, just dumped in the hallway with the bike back on the front porch. Today's adrenaline rush from descending the last BIG hill leading into Bellevue and then on to the river was quite something. I wrote earlier about "scary-fast" and have a new definition. We were flying down. Steve braked the first part of the hill, but our 18-wheel tandem still hit 47+ mph. He is not sure of the exact number since he was watching the road carefully. We were sitting upright, not crouched, to slow ourselve a bit more.
We had met up with one of our new friends about 5 miles out town, so we were able to take our "dip the wheel in the Mississippi River" photo with him. We then headed back to our car at the high school and paid for yet another shower. (Hmmm...a shower and a flush toilet without a line!!)
We are grateful for your interest in checking our progress, your prayers and concern for our safety and for all your support for our charitable causes. It was truly a fun week, one with lots of small town craziness and beautiful scenery, with an occasional bad smell thrown in.
Steve will be updating the previous blogs by supplying the visuals. It truly was one big photo-op and he really got tired of hearing me say that I wanted to stop. I have lots of great stories of people and places and things we did, but for now...heading to the shower and our own bed.
Special thanks to our creative son Andy for his faithful updates, and yes I watched the Field of Dreams video too!
Hugs to all...Mary
