Road Trip For Paige
Yesterday we began our road trip to St. Louis to pay honor to Paige and her family. Last night we stopped in Lincoln our half way mark to rest up for the other half of our journey today. My parents blessed us with warm meals, clean towels, and most of all a home to rest our weary bodies. Just north of their home is a park and we were able to strenght our legs and play frisbee. For me of course it was great to be with both my family and Bike & Build family together. Today we will continue to St. Louis for the viewing and memorial tomorrow. I am very greatful for everyone who has made it possible for the P2S10 family to travel all the way to St. Louis. We are truley blessed because of it. I know these next couple of days will be hard and seeing Paige again will bring back memories of the accident. But together we will make it through.

Wake-Up
With a 4:00 a.m. wake-up we are able to begin our ride with a beautiful sunrise. This totally makes it worth it.
On the search for the Lost Nation
On our way through Iowa we kept finding signs for a town called 'Lost Nation.' Over and over again we wondered if we would ever find it. As well as if it is lost why does it has a distance. We have a good time joking around so once we came to this booming town we had to take a photo.
This day I was sweeping with Brittney. Shortly after this photo we took a rest stop at a gas station. Which for any other person would be a good experience. However with me I always choose the worst places. At first instance it looked like a nice place. Then after coming out I smelled like poo. After searching around for awhile I found poo all over me. It was so bad I wanted to cry but I kept it together, cleaned myself up, and continued traveling. It ended up that I placed my camel back in poo on the ground and then when I put my bag on it got all over me. Let just say I was thankful for the showers at the end of the day. Even if it was freezing cold.
Open Road...
On the trip we have been blessed with many open roads. This is a common sight as we went across the mid-west. Now in South Dakota the landscape is changing and the fields of wheat are increasing by the day. It's amazing to see God's creation as we travel from sea to sea.
