One last post for our trip ... Yesterday was a day of firsts. For the first time all week we finished biking by 1 PM. For the first time all week we broke 1800 feet in elevation. Our high point was at the check in station at Rollins ... the second highest was on the hill above Camp Hickory Hill at 1778 feet. The last first was related to our ongoing speed question ... Our max speed yesterday was 41.0! Making it the first day that ya officially topped 40. Our average moving was 12.6. More notes from the week ... Our lowest moving speed was 3.1 mph on Monday on route 20A just past 77 ... that was the toughest incline me the week. Total distance for the week was 351 miles & total time in the saddle was 27 hours 52 minutes. Giving us an average for the week of about 12.6 mph. Thanks for reading and praying for us ... The families will be here shortly so we can have clean clothes
again!

Rollins! We have arrived ... Going to sleep until the family comes tomorrow. Where were we? Bass Pro Shop in Auburn.

Good morning a little late from county number thirteen. Sorry that we didn't post last night but we were out of cell phone range. At this point we are taking a break in Tupper Lake. We are only ten miles away from our destination. Yesterday we arrived at our church stop at lunch and decided to forge ahead ... We were planning to find a trail to pull off on to camp, but found no suitable locations. So after riding more we came across Cranberry Lake state park. All told we rode nearly 73 mile and climbed most of our elevation for the trip. Yesterday's max speed was 31.2 and the moving average was 12.6. Finally the answer you've been waiting for. Two days ago Ray hit a snake with his bike. Not as exciting as a moose but not nearly as dangerous either. The answer to 'where were we' is coming later after our arrival at Rollins Pond.

Dead phones

We are almost out out power on both phones, so unless we can plug in somewhere, this may be one of the last posts till family arrives.

Cranberry Lake Camp Ground

Well, we made it to Cranberry Lake. We spent the night at the campground there. However, we are experiencing radio silence. We are 20 miles from Tupper lake and 30 from Rollins Pond. We are going to push through today and set up camp at Rollins Pond this afternoon, 1 day early (barring any major bike problems).
