We would like to express our gratitude to the following people for the help they were to us on this trip. They touched our hearts by giving us things far more than an open door. They left kindness, generosity and love. Those are irreplaceable and can not be depleted as they are shared. 

Thank you to:

- Bob and Judy for the camping supplies they lent us and for not thinking we were crazy wanting to do this ride.

- Nate and Sherry for letting us crash at their house  even though they were moving the next morning.

- Pam and Richard for a place to stay, haircuts, sharing their campsite in Astoria and great day of tourist activities.

- Phil and Robin for giving us a place to stay and the reminder of how awesome it is to live on a farm.

- Doug for his superb auto maintenance expertise and his lovely wife Tammy for the harp concert.

- Spencer and Angela for the lodging, cousin time and the garden inspiration.

- Kathy and Henry for treating us to dinner.

- The Warner's for being our full-service hotel for weekend.

- The Chiropractor in Utah who adjusted my back and taught Stephen how to do it in the future. He didn't need to do this, I was surprised at how quickly a tear to my eye. -Stephen
