End of Day 13 and they made it to Lacey, Washington, about 10 miles north of Olympia.
Said they froze their axxxs off this morning. Hit some spots at 26 degrees. Oh man! that's cold!
They were hoping to stop and see his aunt & uncle in Oak Harbor, but decided to blow by and start heading for home. Uncy says he is "barn sour"
heard-bound; a dislike of leaving the company of other horses, or of leaving the stable.
funny thing is, Terry used the tern, "barn broke" and I asked if his uncle told him about it and he said no, Mark told him!!! hee haw!!! too funny!
They did 815 miles today. From Olympia to SLO it is 960, apologized he won't make it home in time for date night, but will be home tomorrow night. Mark will spend the night and head home on Saturday.
As you can see I received the cd today, with quite a few pictures. So I picked some out for all of you to see. They have made their 4th and final checkpoint and was even issued a Certificate of Achievement by the City! That was unexpected! Terry called around 5pm and said they were going to ride for a couple of more hours before they call it a day. Now I know he will be home tomorrow!
This is the marker between Canada and the US, in Blaine, WA

Still have paperwork to do! this is what they filled out to send in for the checkpoints.
I guess they can't go any further south!
Check out the reflection in Mark's glasses!

I might add a bit more later, after they check in. One more day, one more longgggggggggg day!
