... not. <br><br>After the respective camping and running are over, we'll meet in Los Angeles to celebrate my 30th birthday before catching our flight from LAX to Bangkok.<br><br>Currently we're both recuperating from all of the dang shots we had to get for the trip, doing last minute research, attempting to fit all our stuff in small packs and wondering if JD's passport has enough room for visas and entry stamps. More to come...

... who of the others would still be able to attend. Lots of things changed after we came up with this plan so lots of folks just couldn&#8217;t come.<br><br>The first person who came was Joe from the Conures list. He had suddenly realized he was staying near Owensboro and could drive over. He and his wife Connie came over just to meet Aloysius and Bartleby (and maybe me and Tom) in the early afternoon and we had a great ...

... 8217;s property but the tree is gone and site closed off. The only other thing there is Nancy Lincoln&#8217;s Inn that has some food and a little souvenir shop. It has been open since the 1920s so it&#8217;s a historic site too. You can rent a small log cabin to stay in too! <br><br>We headed back to the rv park, suitably educated, and I wanted to stop at a small cemetery that I&#8217;d seen with a historic marker ...

New Harmony, Indiana was a Utopian community, established in 1814 by a group of Pietists from Germany (EfMers, year three IS relevant!).  The original "Harmonists" created a charming and very productive little town on the banks of the Wabash River in southwestern Indiana. When they left another group of Utopians, the Owenists, bought the town and tried  to make a go of it.  Didn't work for them ...

We been moving along to get home and it is a long way. So I'm going to post where we spend the night and then the next day it's off on the next leg. Were on our way to North Carolina and then to Florida. Sorry no pictures. Ray and Christa

... to tomorrow when everything will be new to both of us as we head through St. Louis and on to Colorado (Our goal for tomorrow). I need to speak to Dad "Kirby" when we get home, I almost ran off the road when we hit a certain area in West Virginia. Everything was quiet as I was navigating over the WV ...

We reluctantly left this great hospitality at nine this morning (the other cyclists had left at 5:30 to do the same distance). Another good days progress was made and, to the horror of Hodge and Tom, we spent the night at a camp site at Rough River. More swimming in the river and a lazy afternoon in sun was enjoyed by all ...

We had no problem in leaving Cave in Rock early this morning and even the drivers were out by 8. After a short but very relaxing ferry trip across the river that morning we tucked into the hard yards and arrived at the agreed destination, the Sebree Baptist Church, only to find Hodge and Lombard tucking into heaps of home-made food having just taken part in the monthly sing ...

... was freezing so we missed our opportunity to explore the city. City was almost empty anyway possibly because of a Easter weekend. We drove west from Cincinnati and decided to do unplanned detour to Kentucky. Prior to that we did a short stop next to the McDonald's on the crossing of US-50 and I-65. We parked next to the couple who had a sticker on their window: "Our daughter is in the army". We talked to them for a while and we learned that she is stationed in North Carolina and ...
