Thanks Steve - and thanks for following along. Sometimes when things were difficult it was encouraging to know that others were following along and that we needed to push on so we wouldn't disappoint them. Doc and I are both fortunate in that we have the time and money it takes to undertake an adventure like this - I certainly don't take the opportunity for granted. I have enjoyed your comments,

Buddy Hall

Thanks Michell! I'm sure the food would have been great - maybe I'll be able to find out someday. The Centennial Trail was a great ride, at least one of the best rides of the entire trip. Thanks for following along,

Bud

Thanks Allane! And now that I noticed how your name is spelled, I will correct my mis-spelling of your name in the journal (oops, sorry about that). I hope you and Steve have a great visit with the family and a wonderful trip back home. And should you do something like this again (or a saner and shorter tour!) consider doing a journal on Cycle Blaze so I can follow along. If you someday find yourself in Oklahoma, you can comment here to let me know and we could meet up. Best of luck,

Buddy Hall

Thanks Kelly! I will be following along and reading your journal entries every day - best of luck,

Buddy Hall

Thanks Kathleen! It's great to know that folks followed along. Best wishes,

Bud

Thanks Rick! I remember you and hope you someday have many enjoyable days of retirement fishing in Lake Erie - but don't catch ALL the fish, save a few for others. Best wishes,

Bud

Congratulations Bud and Doc. This is Rick from Conneaut. (Gonna catch every fish in Lake Erie guy) I have really enjoyed following you two through this. I read from the beginning once I met you two at the Ohio Pennsylvania line. You two are truly amazing. I hope you enjoy that cup of coffee. Best wishes and I'll be looking for your next endeavor.

Congratulations from Steve and Allane! You were inspirational!

I'm going to miss your journal entries.

Thank you for taking us along on your journey.

Safe travels home.

Congrats, Bud!

Bud, I am so sorry your experience with the Malby Cafe was so dismal, they do have really good food, at least they did pre-Covid. Congratulations on finishing! Love riding on the Centennial trail.

Bud I’m a bit misty-eyed today having read the blog and watched the video. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this incredible record of the trip. Seeing the videos each and every day had been the highlight of the day and it’s let so many people experience the journey along with you and Andy. Your writing style, witticisms and calm voice has made it such a pleasure. I just wanted to say thank you and that I look forward to tomorrow’s post! Sincerely, Steve Henry

You are squeezing every bit of life out of life! Congratulations!

Mount Baker! It’s got a similar profile though. But congratulations!!

Bud….what gorgeous scenery today! I think Washington state is almost the best yet. What state do you like best? Skynomish looks like a really nice Mayberry sort of town. Hope the food is good at the cafe! Over ‘n out for now!!!!!
