Today is it! Dad and Brian are off to St. John's. The weather has definitely held out for them. They have been swimming in the lakes along the way and resting on top of picnic tables to dry off.
Yesterday they had a good ride. A few good hills to climb. They arrived at Tanker Inn last evening ready for a nice relaxing evening. THANK YOU to Russel Metals St. John's who donated the accommodations. A BIG THANK YOU to two gentlemen who paid for supper last evening as their donation to dad's journey.
Tomorrow morning at 9 am they will be at the Terry Fox Monument in St. John's and dad will dip his wheel in the ocean. The "true cross Canada journey" will be completed.

Wow, what a journey!
ReplyDeleteI was about to type, "May God bless you both..." but I realize that God HAS been blessing you both throughout this journey, in the wonderful people you've encountered and the beautiful land you've crossed ... in your companionship with each other ... in the strength of your bodies, the smiles on your faces, the joy in your hearts ...
Gary and Brian, I wish we were there to see you arrive, but you are close in our hearts and minds always. Besides, those good folks of the "Rock" have looked after you well so far and St. John's will be no different, I know.
You are a blessing, and are blessed.
See you soon.....Rev. Helene
