T0 create a memory book of my ride across America, five years later, I needed to transfer my original blog into this formal blogging website. In doing so, I have added nearly 85 additional photos, and made some revisions to add special memories.
Most of the new pictures came from our tour leader, who sold to all of us on the ride a CD containing the over 3000 pictures he took of us during the 32 days. In this way, I was able to add numerous photos of ME.
I also found that I needed to "correct" information I had posted about the Erie Canal. Now that I have completed the Great Loop cruise, I know much more about the Erie Canal than I knew then! I might add, it brought back wonderful memories when I was cruising on my boat along the Erie Canal where I had ridden three years earlier. And twice I took bike rides on some of the same roads in New York we had pedaled during this bike tour.
Also, on the Illinois River, I passed under the same bridge at Meredosia we had cycled across and stopped to take one of the photos in this book (Day 20). Just as Rick and I cruised under that bridge, I phoned Dave Thompson and we reminisced about that biking moment.
I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting my wonderful bike trip, as I transferred each blog entry and added the new photos. It remains one of the highlights of my life.
