Bill,

Gorgious pics! I'm so jealous. Sounds like the trip is everything you guys hoped it would be. The nhood has changed. New young couples are in the front houses and Kathy loves your old place. She broke her ankle in 2 places last week falling off a ladder! The Orlando Magic are 3-0 in their first playoff matchup and I hope to have a fishing report after this weekend! Bambie says hey. Let us know what you guys need/want and where to send it so you will receive. Miss you around WACO. Happy trails, Mike

Checked out your latest pictures and thought some of them could of been painting. Great camera shots....Thanks again for stepping out of the box of daily living to experience and share something not many folks can do. I can tell by the pictures you have been blessed by alot of God shots....Just a fyi Mike Rundles is haveing radiation on his brain, apparently his lungs are good, but the cancer has relocated to his brain..Played Golf yesterday beautiful weather here as well. Jim and Trena said hi and keep moving forward...Talk to you soon...jo

Has it been seven days yet? Where will you be? Hot Springs? or further North. Anyway, glad to hear/know you're okay. Hope to hear from ya. t :)

Greetings amigos...I wonder ...where on the trail are you ? Pray the weather is cooperating with you and that your knee Bill is holding up for you ! Your hike was my father's dream . That is why I am excited about it ! Is your food holding out ? Enough boxes ? If you all need anything yo are going to have to let us know...we are your fans safely on the ground. Keep well You are loved !

Hey you BRAVE, ADVENTURESOME souls....I' m so proud of you guys! Really, words dont seem to do justice for what I see in you both! Bill, I think of you every day in "our" house. I can't tell you how happy I am to live there. The house is doing as much for me, as the hike is for you. (I know you understand). but now for my latest challenge. Last Sunday I fell from a step ladder in the closet, and broke my left ankle. Had to have surgery Monday ( 11 screws and 2 plates) Broke both bones at the ankel joints..hospitol 3 days..but now I'm home in a walker. no weight for 8 weeks. so I'm home now..and glad for the cheerie surroundings....as well as the outpouring of love and support from every one...especially all the "Alley's and the Altmans". They have made my difficult time so much better. anyway...I'm feeling better..and will keep you updated on the progress. I'm so very proud and happy for you guys. Love the pictures of your fuzzy faces. :) I'll keep you both in my prayers.

LOVE and BLESSINGS...KB

Rob and Bill,

Great talking to you. We will all be waiting for the update with pictures when you get to the next stop in seven days.
