Wednesday July 13th
Today was, like many of our days recently, long and hot. As we continue our trek across country, our creative group strives to find things to entertain ourselves. Today, Tucker and Luke woke up and asked Lia if they could borrow two of her more feminine, sleeveless bike jerseys. The boys, newly donned in their lovely attire, led us towards a solid start of our day. Team Marien have quickly adapted to their new role as SAG wagon drivers, and have been doing an amazing job keeping us fed and watered. Tucker and Luke got distracted by their fashionable jerseys, and missed a turn, adding an extra 5 miles to their day.
Towards the end of our day, we stopped at a restaurant to refill our water bottles and snack on some trail mix before finishing the last 20 miles of the day. We went inside to use the bathroom, and started talking to some of the people who were sitting inside the bar. They were interested in what we were doing, so Britt, Anna and I talked to some of the folk inside. They were so inspired by what we were doing, they decided to donate! Still excited by our new found donations, we cruised through the rest of the day and arrived at the campsite we would be staying at. We all rushed towards the Wisconsin River for a quick swim before setting up camp. That night we were treated to delicious meatball subs by team Marien. After, we loaded up the Tahoe in search of ice cream from cold stone before turning in for some much needed rest.
