This post will have to be quick. I am in the laundry mat and they are almost done. The ride today was difficult. We had more hills and the fourth day was wearing on everyone. Tomorrow is the long ride (75 miles). We had some rain during the ride but everyone rode through it without much issue.

Troop 1222 is another great location. We are staying at the Committee Chair's house. He has a pond in the back yard with rafts, pier, sand beach, .... All the boys are currently back at the house swimming and horse playing.

We had to bikes we needed to get fixed and laundry to do. Tonight was laundry day. Both bikes are now fixed and the laundry is almost done. The local newspaper is coming out to interview the scouts later this evening.

The boys have grouped together and voted on buying KFC for dinner tonight. Since all the crews want KFC, we have given in and are ordering several buckets. Troop 1222 Scoutmaster and scouts will be over later tonight to play games. Unfortunately, it looks like some storms are coming in, so we may be stuck in the pole barn. We'll see how the night plays out.

This morning was difficult waking up. We changed time zones, so this morning we woke everyone up at 5am EST (4am CST) to start the bike ride. We left around 6:50 and make it in between 12:20 and 2:00. We also crossed the border into Ohio today.

Since the scouts can't read this until they return, I'll tell all of you a secret that you have to keep to yourself. Ohio isn't any flater than Indiana. We will have hills here too.

Ceci, your mother says HI and Love you!!

I think I figured out pictures, so we'll see if it works.
