We are resting today and worshiped with the Cragmor CRC congregation, a few blocks from our camp location. They treated us to a lunch at the church after the service. Julie and I sat next to a Mr. Sterk who has lived in Colorado Springs for many years, but he grew up in Friesland, WI, very near where I grew up. My mom maybe remembers him from years ago. The Sterk Road is named after his family, just outside of Friesland.
We had a wonderful service and we had communion with the congregation. Several elders that are on the tour helped with serving communion and a couple bikers shared their story with the congregation.
Tomorrow we leave the mountains behind and head toward the great plains.
Julie and I will be driving a different van from now on as our old 79 Ford van will be used to pull a open trailer that has all the gear bags on it for each day. It has a big engine and is more suited for that pulling. We now have an older Chevy van to drive that we need to get all our gear switched over to this evening. It is all decked out with blue and white Sea To Sea logos.
Read your blog each morning sitting here in Florida. Thank you for your dedication and endurance!! A trip of a lifetime!! (Terry's dad).
