First Off...Thanks!

Thank you. That's what I want the first words of this little blog to be. Thanks first to everyone who has supported me with their generous donation or kind words of encouragement. Thanks to Bike and Build for putting together the amazing opportunity to make this trip. Thanks to America for, well, being there to ride across, I guess? But mostly thanks to those who have helped to sponsor me on this trip:
  • First, of course, my mom (Hi Mom!) and dad
  • Marty Richards
  • Haven Presley
  • The McRories
  • My Grandparents
  • The Birmingham Smiths
  • The Charlotte Smiths
  • The Hammans
  • The Powells
  • The Hollands
  • The Hayes
Without your support I would not have been able to make this trip a reality.

Also, a big thanks to everyone who responded so enthusiastically to my plans and encouraged me make them a reality.

It's now less than two weeks until we shove off from Providence, so look here for frequent updates about the final run-up and early pictures from the road!

Thanks Again!

Hey Logan -

Looks like the trip is off to great start. Everthing is well here with the Charlotte Smiths. I survived my annual canoe trip to Minnnesota and we are getting ready for the big RV trip which begins soon. I will send you the blog we have created for that. Lolly, Clay and William are all well. Take care and keep both wheels on the road. Let us know if you need any thing special and we will get it in the mail before we head west. Who knows, maybe we shall cross paths west of the Rockies!
