New friends ...

Kane, Dan, and Ross

We made new friends recently. On a trip to the grocery store, we met three young gentlemen who had just ridden in on loaded down touring bicycles, in the process of riding from Portland OR to New York, NY. They had already ridden more than four thousand miles. Happily, they accepted our invitation to sleep, shower, and breakfast at our house. We had an enjoyable evening and breakfast with them before they continued their journey the next morning.
