8/7/07 - - We're off early and pedal past mile after mile of cornfields and soybeans. We have seen these fields (plus wheat and hogs) throughout Minnesota, Iowa and now Illinois. We must feed the world. Great news - - today was redemption day. Larry bought two new baseball caps, one with a Mossy Oak cammo pattern and the other a cammo with the words "Got Beer".
So, it was really lucky that the old cap was lost after all. Most of the homes we see along the way are older, huge and homey......kind of like the Waltons should live there. It is unusual to see a home without an actual flagpole in the front yard flying our flag. Also, we have seen many POW MIA flags flying. It's good to see that veterans continue to be remembered. We ran out of gas about the time we entered Kakanee....so, stayed here for the night.

Our Goal
On July 1st 2007, we began our cross-country "Trek for Breast Cancer" in Anacortes, Washington. We will pedal about 4,500 miles, over the Rockies, follow the northern part of the United States, drop south beginning in Iowa and finish in New York City. If we average 75 miles per day, it will take about two months to complete. We are self-contained carrying all our gear, spare bike parts, food & water in our trailer, and on our backs.
Our goal is to make a $25,000 contribution to "Sisters Foundation Fighting Breast Cancer." It is a non-profit foundation providing financial and emotional support to breast cancer patients. They provide many crucial services and support to enable individuals fighting breast cancer to avail themselves of medical treatment and resume their lives, cancer free. Their commitment and accomplishments are inspiring.
We would appreciate your supporting us in making a difference in the fight against breast cancer. To make a tax-deductible contribution, please see our Donate Page.

I have loved reading about your journey! Ah, so sorry Larry lost his A's hat...perhaps I can send him a GIANTS baseball cap?!!
You guys are making amazing memories and for such a great cause. Also, Lucille, I loved hearing your message when I got back from my vacation.
Continue to be safe and keep on moving forward!
Love.......Janice Bergh
Hey Larry, heard a rumor that your going back on days when you get back. Dave Maise our fleet leader has given Todd authority to make it happen. Good luck and good riding. Mike
