Day 38 - 59 Miles to Hot Sulphur Springs

Wednesday, July 2 - early 7:00 departure to dodge the pop-up afternoon thundershowers. Yesterday's lighting bolts were dramatic and a little scary. Went 59 miles to Hot Sulphur Springs, 2,037 total miles to date. Broke the 2,000-mile barrier! We are seeing millions of acres of pine beetle damaged trees reminiscent of East Tennessee. Pine trees are red, brown, and dying. Found out why we had one room left in Walden last nite - FBI has reportedly 52 agents in town related to possible serial murder investigation nearby in Jackson County. Today I saw antelope and a couple of jack rabbits while Kathy got the grand prize for seeing a bear and a deer. Checked into the Canyon Motel about 1:00 and took my first nap in 6 weeks. The rest felt great. That's it for now! -- Tom

Tom,

Do you have time for one quick question on LDR? Just kidding.

Larry Long is no longer my idol, its you. Be safe and have fun. When you get back, we need to have a celebration for you.

Hey Tom & Kathy,
I just want to say Hello and Happy 4th of July... 2,000 miles is awesome! Way to go! Can't wait to hear more adventure... We leave for Lake Oconee today for 2 days. We'll certainly be thinking of you as we curl up in bed at the Ritz!! HA HA!!!
Love,
your sister Janet
