We found our way through the Chicagoland far west side with the help of a 36 mile stretch on the Fox River bike trail. It was a pretty ride that followed the riverside. It was a great way to avoid a lot of metro traffic. We then cut over eastward to Trinity Christian College, where we are camped in their grass courtyard between several buildings. The total ride was about 84 mils.
The Trinty people are very freindly and organized also and we will have a welcome reception in their chapel tonight and then a choice of one of three poverty related films and discussions. They are serving Chicago style pizza and salad and sundaes. Yum!! Tomorrow morning, they have a short send off service for us.
I am using the Trinity computer lab to do my blogging today. It is much faster and very stable compared to my laptop and satelite hookup.
The forecast calls for the possibility of rain and/or storms tonight. I put the tent in about the only spot where we can back the pickup to it in case it rain hard and we need to crawl into the back of the pickup bed.
Tomorrow we enter Michigan!! I am not sure yet how we will make our way around the bottom of Lake Michigan to get there. It may mean some smoggy Gary, IN air.
Hope to see a lot of you at the GR celebration rally this Sunday. You need a ticker, but they are free and there are plenty left.
Love to all, P & J.
