Bruce and I traveled 1,931 miles on the first leg of our bicycle adventure from the Flint, MI, area to Tallahassee, FL. The second leg of our journey covered 2,594 miles and took us from Tallahassee to Key West, FL, and back, before following the Gulf Coast to Houston and down to Rockport, TX, where we were given jobs through the kindness and generosity of others. The question before us was what would the third leg of our adventure be like? Part Three of The Great Adventure would essentially be the second half of our journey, both literally and figuratively. In many ways, the Western portion of our journey would be a completely different experience for us than the first two legs of our trip had been. The fundamental question before us though, was how would we survive the endeavor? We'd find out the answer soon enough, as we set out to traverse the vast distances across the West and hopefully make it to Seattle to prepare for what would be the rest of our lives…
