Mary & Steve @ Mississippi River The end has been reached. After a long day of up and down-hill climbing on the approach to the Mississippi River valley, which included down-hill speeds exceeding 40mph, the tandem arrived in Bellevue and got to dip their tires in the Mississippi River. In the excitement of Friday's baseball site-seeing, the scoring of one final Dutch Bingo hit was missed. Mother met a couple from Northfield, MN (which is first of all home to two schools which I toured as a high school prospective) who had sent a daughter to Hope College, a daughter who happened to take Math for Elementary Education with Prof DeYoung a few years ago.
The parents are currently taking their internal-combustion quadcycle back to Michigan and expect to arrive late on Saturday evening. All body parts are apparently intact, though apparently a bit sensitive to the bumps in the road which hit a bit harder while riding at 75mph. For those calculating their donations to the selected charity funds, that comes out to 500X with both the parents and the bike surviving across the entire state, something many children in the back seat of their family truckster may already see as an arduous feat:
