To the House of the Rising Sun

This Morning we are leaving from Long Beach, MS to complete the last leg of our journey into the city of New Orleans. Our last ride is about 70 miles and 5.5 hours and we hope to arrive at Audobon Park in the early afternoon where we will be greeted by Ride to Heal and Catholic Charities. Our posts and the updating of the blog has been sparse but we promise to fill in some gaps after we have arrived at our destination. We want to thank whole-heartedly everyone who helped to make this trip possible and successful, namely Raul Cotilla and Tom Monks of Ride to Heal, Mr. Michael McCarthy who helped us generously with lodging throughout the ride, everyone who donated money to the cause, ultimately creating the purpose for the ride at all, and all of our friends and family who supported us. Its been awesome, difficult and tiring at times, but all-in-all a fun and rewarding experience. We can't wait to see you all again and relate all of our stories and (mis)adventures to you. In the meantime, here are some more pictures...
