6/17/07 - Comment from Rider - Jeff

Jeff at 12:57 AM Sunday - "We’re okay. It’s almost 1 AM your time back home and we are on the road and going. We’re gone through our rotation once . We thought it would be kind of important to let you know how it’s going. Yesterday we counted numerous road kill. One whole family of raccoons was all over the road – dead. Today we are very excited, though. After having rescued one turtle from the middle of the road – helping him get across from the other side, Jim received an award from PETA for his human rights sensitivities there. Today already we are very excited. We’ve had a string of good luck seeing live animals. Ron almost encountered a skunk and then after that we saw 3 raccoons on the white line. Ron reported that one of the raccoons was taking a sobriety test. Apparently successfully walking down in a straight line. About one mile later we had to avoid hitting a doe. That would be a deer – doe – a female deer. And then just recently and we still have the evidence in the van – we avoided another skunk."

Hey Mr. Jeff Holmes...I have been trying to keep track of the race.You guys are really moving. It is really incredible what you all have done. I must say it would be hard and strange to ride at night in the pitch black and just having headlights be your only light. I am glad to see God just working everything out and keeping everyone safe, healthy and in good spirits. By the way loved the song..Fa la la la la Doe a deer, a female deer, rays a drop of goldern sun. something of that nature which you obvious have seen plenty of. Can't wait to get the run down and catch up when you and Mickey get back.....
