You would think that after riding roughly 5k miles in a week we would have to deviate from our plan, not so! Plan A has been a very dynamic and flowing plan that we have strictly adhered to. Was that a shave ice stand on the side of the road in Oklahoma? Yep, you will find 'eat shave ice' in plan A. Should we get lost for 3 hours looking for a road that a competitor has taken the sign down for? Again, plan A. Should we help a teenager who crashed his car in a ditch on a long lonely stretch of highway after falling a sleep at the wheel and being woken up by 2 motorcycles? That's in there too. How about lose all communication, whether it be hardware failure or software failure, you will find that written down in there too. How about drive through a farmers field for a mile to get around road construction just as a crop duster starts his rounds over said field? Planned! All in all this trip is going exactly as we have planned it and we couldn't be more thrilled!
Big thanks to #1 supporter,mom, who has helped us find communication, brought us food at the check points, always has a smile on her face, and yesterday a shower (not a lake or a river or sprinklers, but an actual shower)
Thanks Mom

which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
omitted, all the voyage of their life
is bound in shallows and in miseries;
or lose our ventures.

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together!
