Wednesday 7/02/08 - We left early this morning, stopped in town to make train reservations for the afternoon train ride and continued on our bike ride. The bike trail is built on an old rail road right of way. About 15 miles out of town the trail crosses two old RR tunnels. Our goal was to make it to the tunnels and came back on time to take the train ride in the afternoon. The trail is a great place to ride bikes and we made it to the tunnels with out any difficulty except for some light rain a couple of miles before we got there. After taking some pictures and eating lunch we headed back. With about 10 miles left on the ride the rains go a lot heavier. We had to keep on riding because of the train reservations in the afternoon. By the time we made it back to camp we were soaked to the skin and mud all over our backs and the bikes. We managed to change clothes and make it back to the train with 15 minutes to spare. Needless to say, we enjoyed sitting down for a couple of hours to give our legs a rest. Tomorrow we are off to Mt. Rushmore.

Looks & sounds like things are going great! The pictures really add to your posts.
The church picnic was one of the biggest yet - over 350 people and the park was really nice. People had a great time.
We are a simulcast site for the Truth Project on Sept 27th so mark your calendars.
We are enjoying the blog - even recognized some of the shots from Yellowstone & Tetons.
Love,
Jay & Fritzeen
Another Hersey girl chiming in here! I'm jealous! Maybe some day Bob and I will get our courage up and take our fifth wheel cross-country like you're doing. Beautiful country. And you got to visit the Burkes on their "farm" before we did! Glad you had such a good visit. Brings back memories, huh? Maybe we can get together sometime after summer's over - we haven't seen you for way too long.
Joanie and Bob Olsson
