Home Again!!



Having left Sunnyside on September 2 in the heat of summer, we returned home on Monday, October 27 . It was a welcome sight. The flowers are blooming and the fall colors are still showing their splendor.


The drive from Missoula, Montana to Sunnyside was spectacular. The weather was sunny, crisp, and gorgeous through Idaho on Highway 12 over Lolo Pass. The road skirts the Lochna River through the Bitteroot and Clearwater Mountains. Just gorgeous fall colors among the evergreens with the Tamarack trees changing their colors and losing their needles, as well as a few deciduous trees.












We made very few stops. Clarkston, Washington was a must as we were so happy to be back on Washington soil and needed to stretch our legs. The hills after harvest looked good to us. The wheat farmers were all busy discing, plowing and planting their winter wheat.



The harvest is over and so is this odyssey. It has been an adventure across the United States and back again, seeing sights we have not had the privilege to view previously. The weather for our entire two months away was lovely and we would recommend traveling in September or October to anyone. With the exception of a prevailing East wind on Leroy's bicycling days and two days of rain, we could not have asked for better weather. We did take note many times from Mississippi all the way to Washington that now the wind was blowing from West to East!

Thanks to each and everyone of you for being supportive, reading our blog, and holding us in your prayers for the past two months. We could not have accomplished this without you.

Welcome home! Bet it's great to sleep in your own bed after all these weeks on the road.

Thanks for sharing your adventure with all of us. Your descriptions of the areas you rode and drove through were thoroughly informative and enlightening.

We are praising God for your safety, health, and perservance, especially during those times when the wind always seemed to be in your face and those unending hills in West Texas taxed your tenacity.

Looking forward to hearing more of your reflections on this tremendous accomplishment.

Love, Don & Joan

Back so soon. Can't believe how fast and how much you took in a bit over a month.
Got a call from Pete Finch, he was excited to hear about your journey and was going to read up on your blog. Congratulations, and great job with the narrative and pictures. You should print it into a coffee table book. I love and miss you both, thanks for the inspirational journey.
Beautiful pictures, miss the seasons here. Hope you can come back down to visit. We can always find stuff to keep you busy.
