During devotions Doug shared the story of a boy he saw on a bike on Tuesday afternoon. The kid popped a wheelie and Doug just looked at him. The kid said, "This is my mom's beauty shop, and I'm allow to do this right here." Sounded good to Doug.
Today we rode 61 miles on the trail from Hancock to Cumberland, Md. It was a great day on the trail. The big mystery of the day is: "What is the blue gunk that keeps showing up on Ken's leg?" It was there at the afternoon break and again at end of the trail. We all rode the same trail and no one else got slimed. Checked his bike out, and nothing is coming from the bike. We met Alex and Carl from the DC area who were riding to Cumberland also. We invited them to have lunch with us. We said, "We Methodist know how to eat." They couldn't argue with that.
We received a great welcome at the Union Rescue Mission. We ate with the other people staying at the mission. They will also feed us breakfast in the morning.
Probably won't get much sleep tonight. The mission is right next to the train station and passenger trains are loading and unloading all night. Tomorrow morning the group is going to trailer the bikes ahead to avoid a 20 mile incline, with a 3000 feet elevation gain, and cut the day day down to a manageable ride. But Larry Hinkle has a sponsor who pledged a dollar per mile if Larry rides the who trail. So Larry, Dave Powell, and I are going to leave early and do 90 miles on the trail, including the 20 climb. If I don't post an entry tomorrow, it's probably because I feel asleep in the shower and drowned.
Happy Trails In Christ

Don't forget "through the tunnel" not "over the montain"

Hi to all our friends on this trip.
Good to see Larry is doing so good.

The 2nd picture of Don and Ken lying on the railroad tracks is open for some kind of contest with comments/dialogue. Don asked me to take that picture of he and Ken.
Here is my recollection of their dialogue;
Pastor Don; "Hey Ken, train passed here 2 hours 7 minutes ago, with 3 engines pulling 7 passenger cars, 47 freight cars, and one caboose, traveling north at rapid pace."
Ken; "Wow, your skills are absolutely amazing, Don! You can tell all that just from listening to the rail tracks?
Don; "No that train ran over me 2 hours 7 minutes ago."
