The scenery is definitely getting greener with field after field of irrigated corn. These irrigation systems are huge. We had quite a few long hills to climb today, but overall lost about 1,000 feet of altitude. In Minden, we are at about 2,200 feet. It was a long, hot 96 miles today, as I had to help cleanup breakfast and could not get going as early as normal. I got to camp about 4:00 and was again wiped out.
Tonight after dinner, we celebrated the halfway point of the trip with ice cream and strawberry sundies. We crossed the calendar halfway point yesterday and will cross the distance halfway point tomorrow about 18 miles into our ride.
Julie and I had a big surprise on the road today. Some friends of ours that were our “family” while on an Israel trip some years ago, were returning to Michigan from an Arizona vacation. They knew the sea to sea tour was taking todays route and just happened to stop at Julie’s SAG stop to ask questions, and I happened to be at the stop at the same time! It was great talking to Cal and Dorene Compagner. Cal is a pastor in the GR MI area.
I’m tired again and will sign off now.
Love to all, P & J.

Hi, Pete and Julie,
How wonderful that you are meeting old friends on this trip--the Campagners, and also Roland Buteyn and others. The Lord arranges these little "coincedences" for your encouragement.
Always keep alert.
Love, Mom
We continue to pray for you Peter and your wife too. It was so nice to meet you in Kennewick so we have a personality to the name. We pray your lives will continue to be touched by God each day. Thank you for your hard work and love for the Lord.
Dan and Kristy Wolters
