Day 10, September 8, Monday

The end of another great day in the adventures of Terry & Mark.  They went from Mattawa, Canada to Ironwood, Michigan.  Back in the good ole USA!
Below is a picture of the Air Hawk seat that Terry  picked up in Florida and finally realized that it must be working because he is no longer thinking about his sore backside.  He was skeptical at first, but now realizes that it is the beemer seat with the problem and not his jeans.

And I finally got a picture of what Mark's bike looks like, well, minus one saddlebag.  This is NOT his bike, but the same model.  He (Mark) said he felt "bitch slapped"  by Terry's comment that he (Terry) has to fight off falling asleep on the beemer when the miles drone on.  Mark could not fathom that because of the vibration of his bike is enough to vibrate his feet off the pegs, hit the ground, turn his leg around and kick him in the butt!  

Mark downloaded the pictures off his camera, Terry did not have his with him, and he is sending the CD on to me.  So, when I get them, I will put some on the blog.  Can't wait.

Mark also said that Terry is his new hero.  That after climbing into bed last night, with sweats on, and in the fetal position, to get past yesterdays incident, that he realized that if it had not happened, that he would have been hit by the cars coming through the intersection!
Terry told him that "God has a way of throwing a brick wall up to save your life!"

The weather is allot cooler, never reached above 60 degrees, and was in the low 50's towards the end of the day, they put on rain suits to stay a bit warmer.

So tomorrow, they plan to get to I94 and head towards Glacier National Park, then on to Washington with hopes of connecting with  Terry's Aunt and Uncle in Oak Harbor.  But that is still a couple of days out.

Both sound ready to be home soon.  Will be glad to have him back.  But what an adventure to share with everyone.  So stay tuned, it's not over yet!
