Good company!

We've been enjoying some good company on the Trace and have failed to
say thanks to some folks. Mainly my dad and step-mom (Cary and
Marilyn). Not only did they host us and put up with us in phoenix but
they sponsored a huge number of days. Thank you both so much for
always encouraging my adventures. Big thanks also to brian's granny
and gramps who also have a number if days coming up.

The pic is of Paul, diane, and skip. Folks from grand rapids Michigan
that we have spent the last two nights hanging out with. Great company
and two fun nights with great camp fires. We wish them the best of
luck on the rest of the Trace.

We also met Ryan and mandy who are REALLY touring the country. Their
websit is withinreachmovie.com and everyone should go check out their
mission and amazing tour. I'll only tell you they are going to be on
the road for a year and a half. We had lunch with them at donna's who
was the greatest road side cheerleader. She flagged us down and tried
to convince us to stay the night because Ryan and mandy were already
staying. We settled on lunch but it was really hard to leave her warm
house and good food. We assured her we would be back when we come back
to the Trace.

I'm going into a food coma. We are at a pizza hut Buffett so I'm
stopping here. Night from Tupalo!
