OK this place makes the last place look like Vegas.  I am sitting in back of a grocery mart on a milk carton, plugged into an outlet that I share with the ice machine as the cats walk by looking at me with a puzzled stare.  Now this is NOWHERE!  But we're doing great and having lots of fun.  We actually took a short excursion yesterday and went to Big Bend National Park, absolutely beautiful (just an additional 214 pictures from that side trip for you all to look at.)  We've found ourselves in quite a haven out here in NOWHERE (though surprisingly the prices make us think we're somewhere special.)  We've got ourselves a whole house to stay in for the night (aaahhhh a real bed.) and we cooked ourselves a frozen pizza ( a treat b/c it's not something you can do very well over a camp stove.)  Oh and by the way the biking is going well.  We're averaging about 55-60 miles a day.  We should be out of TX in no time (maybe 2.5 weeks.)  It is thought provoking when we bike over some of these mountains and then think how the settlers had to do this (can't even imagine.)  Well thanks again for staying with us.  We'll have lots of stories to tell when we get home.  Love you all.

Breath in life fully!!!
Sounds like you are enjoying life and it's great adventure. It is refreshing. I am praying for you.

I had a lot of time to reflect on the adventure of life this week and the great blessings and gifts we are often too busy to notice. Keep noticing the details - it is great for all of us.

Thanks for the stories. I wish I could be there. Keep on pressing on!!!

Hello!
The pictures are absolutely amazing, especially the cave dwellings! I can only imagine how breathtaking they must be in reality.
Thanks for giving us glimpses of all the beautiful sites there is to see, even in places where you'ld least expect (like 'nowhere' Texas).
Stay safe and give Mom and Dad a big hug!
Love you! Michelle

We have over 1500 bottles returned so far, so we are over half way, you better get moving, cause School's Out is beating you-just kidding, you guys are awesome! I will keep the kids posted on your adventures. love you all! Sue Fox

Hello out there
Heidi how did you get that big rock just to hang in midair like that. Since I can't get the book to you here's one out of it.It's titled 'How Far'
How far away is Heaven, someone asked me today.
I told them,it's only the distance
between your heart and your mind,
when you get on your knees to pray. Paul
