The day dawned bright and sunny after the overnight thunderstorm. We however felt refreshed and started on the road to our next destination, Tallahassee, home of the University of Florida and the Gators. This was an unspectacular but pleasant route through tree lined roads and horse farms.
Tallahassee proved to be a difficult town to navigate. We got separated for nearly an hour as we tried to linkup with each other. But eventually we prevailed, and arrived at the home of Ginger, Young Life Committee Chair in Tallahassee, and her husband, Bryan. What a beautiful home it is, with ancient oak trees festooned with hanging moss. These trees are so large and expansive, the many limbs are supported by a cable system.
After a warm welcome and excellent meal, we met various committee members during the evening as they dropped by. Several of them are doing the Young Life Bike Race in Colorado in May, so conversation included the race and Young Life operations in general, with Ginger proving to be valuable source of information which we will put to good use on our return to Arizona.

Your on the Road,
Don and Penny
