Day 12 - We made it!!!!

Melinda went all the way!  We have been so blessed!  It's been hot, hot, hot.  Mostly 100-105 F and Melinda has had trouble staying cool, but she's doing great!

We all parked on the pier.
This is our bike.


 Our group was congratulated by the Ambassador for Route 66.
Here is our group of the "All the way Gang"


Back to the hotel in Colton we went and it was hot!  We rested last night and today we start back.  We are riding with Mike Libs from Evansville, Indiana and heading to Las Vegas (no gambling for us!) tonight.  Melinda will fly home from there tomorrow (Friday) and Mike and I will get on the highway to head home.

Thank you for coming with us on this journey.  This has been a tremendous challenge for Melinda, but she stuck with it - determined to make her goal of Santa Monica.  Along the way we saw many old friends and made many new ones.  We have been truly blessed!

Love to all,

Stephen and Melinda

  1. Well now...next time Alaska or ???

    So glad for you both. Yes, it was truly the adventure of a lifetime -- up to now-- I always add. Who knows what the good Lord has in store for us.

    Be safe and keep in touch on the way home. marinan and buzz

  2. Santa Monica looks pretty familiar. :) I'll have to dig through my old photos and see if I can figure out some of the other places we went in 2005!
