Day 47

Poor Marky Boy. The rain got him pretty good as he biked today. This crazy drenching of the earth finally stopped around 3:00 this afternoon. By then he was already finished riding for the day. Things have really cooled down though, which is kind of nice. We can see the beginnings of Autumn here in New York as the leaves are already beginning to change into beautiful shades of Red, Yellow and Orange. I can't wait to see what everything looks like by the first week of September! We're currently making our way through the Adirondack's, which make for some decent climbs and descents for Mark. He welcomes the challenge now that he doesn't have all that extra poundage hanging from his bike.
It's funny to see where the most random touristy towns seem to pop up. Tonight we're staying in one called Old Forge. It's home to little more than 1,000 people, but it sure is a happening place!

  1. I love the way you all don't let rain dampen your spirits. You are able to see God's majesty in the beautiful Autumn shades and not dwell on the rain.

    Brother Paul says, "Not that I complain of want: for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content." (Philippians 4:11)

    Continue living in His contentment & peace. I love you both, and can't wait to wrap my arms around you. Here is a virtual hug. Can you feel it?
