More Sea to Sea in the News

Dad called during a banana break right in the middle of Highway 84. It's not everyday you can stand along side a highway and make a phone call. He said things are going well. They have a couple of long, tough days ahead of them.

Here's another news story about Sea to Sea.

Some recent news:

Arnie Issette (from my church - Fellowship Church in Big Rapids) tore his achilles tendon and was forced to quit the race. He will be flying home to Michigan to see if surgery is necessary. We were sorry to hear the news about Arnie and hope he has a quick recovery. In an earlier phone call to the church, he said this ride was a "life-changing experience".

Other news heard through the grapevine:

A porta-potty fell off the truck right in the middle of the road. I'd hate to be the one to clean that one up.

The food trailer came unhitched and was caught by the safety chains. Uh oh!

Stay tuned for more updates.
