Good Job Bob!...couldn't do it without you

Guttenberg, IA

Mississippi River

Not another hill!!!!

Great day, 54 miles, will reach 900 miles just outside of Dubuque.  I always thought I could do this but I didn’t know I could.   I have always enjoyed physical challenges, but at age 62, when do you think maybe this isn’t such a good idea.  But I don’t think I’ve reached that point in my life yet.  Anyway, its been great and all the support sent our way has helped tremendously.  While the end is insight, this has been a great adventure, great publicity for Burpee and hopefuly raises some money, I will be so glad to get home. 

We are in the home stretch and when we cross over into Illinois it will be a big deal and the final state for us.  I hope all of you can be at Burpee on the 27th for the party hosted by Cliffbreakers and maybe bike in with me starting at Auburn HS.
