My intentions for this trip
My main objective for this trip is to build my faith and the faith of others. I want to show people that God is real and there is still Love out there in this crazy world. I have no schedule and no plan on what lies ahead. What happens each day is entirely up to our God the Father. God Bless.

Stormy day but glad Gods the Judge
So today we had two big climbs. We only had 62 miles but they were tough. We thought yesterday was going to be the hardest but we were wrong. It started out with a strong head wind. The first climb was tough but we finally got to the top. Nevada is nothing but long roads with mountain passes ever 20 to 40 miles. So it's flat then up then down and flat again. It's the same thing over and over and over. Once you get to the peak of each mountain, you can see all the way to the next pass. When we got to the top of the first pass today, a storm swept over the whole valley. It was clear one second and literally dark in the matter on a few minutes. So we put our rain gear on and slowly made for the decent. After a few miles, the rain and lightning was so bad we had to take cover. The only place for miles was a house and barn in the distance. So we pulled in and knocked on the door. We got no answer. So we walked around back to an overhang we could stand under. About ten minutes later, Adam went to get something off Christy's bike. When he walked up, the owner of the house was home. He opened the door and asked Adam if he new we were on private property. Adam told him yes and that we knocked and needed shelter because of the storm. The owner then kicked us off the property and told Adam that it was our generation who started disrespecting peoples privacy. I didn't hear that part but it was along the lines of that. So we had to get back on our bikes and ride on. There were no other places to take shelter. It's Nevada. Lol. I was shocked that someone really kicked us out into a storm like this. It's alright though because God knows all and sees all. Praise the lord. The next 15 or so miles were rough but we finally made it to a cafe. Praise God. We stopped there and ate. It was great to take a break. Two fellow bikers were there that we met yesterday or the day before. After we ate, the sun came out. It was beautiful. So we all jumped on the road and road to Ely. Right when we got to Ely, it started to storm again. We decided to split a motel. It feels good sleeping in a bed. Praise the lord. Tomorrow is another tough day. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" amen. God bless.
