Kevin Hall's Motivation and Call In

Submitted by sherry on June 15, 2008 - 10:41am

I'm attaching a picture of Kevin's motivation during the ride. He had a photo of his lovely wife and four daughters on the top of his map case. He said that they think he is crazy, but are very supportive. I know he'll be putting in those miles to get back to them as soon as possible.

Here is his call in:

Hey this is Kevin Hall. I'm just entering into Eureka. I crossed over the Canadian/American Border about 9:30 AM this morning. So just made it in a little under 2 days. I stopped in Eureka at the Lutheran Church for a little church service and I also stopped in Jax Cafe since I know it has a lot of history with the Tour Divide Race. So far things are go well, the __ has picked up. The weather is pretty. Flex is right behind me. Thanks.
