We're going to try and finish this thing. Meet the new support vehicle from Hertz - and we did accept all the coverages. Also note the two new rotating yellow lights - wish we had thought of those previously - best $40 I've ever spent. We are modifying the route plan slightly. I'm substituting the final 50 miles from Brookhaven to Natchez on Rt84 for 50 miles on the Natchez Trace, so we traveled a little by car up to Vicksburg, MS to be closer to the Trace. Its a 444 mile parkway from Tennessee to SW corner of Mississippi that prohibits truck traffic and has a lower speed limit - bikes are common on this route. I had originally planned on including this in my route beginning near Tupelo, but with the change to head south in Alabama to avoid the mountains - taking the Trace was no longer feasible.

OK - On the road again - We hope Brooke is OK and am glad that you have added the strobe lights and Big warning sign. Brooke should also use the car emergency flasher anytime she thinks that might be needed as an additional warning.
Keep us posted and hope you have an uneventful but rewarding "second half".

Crazy guy on a bike indeed! You guys be very careful. You are only allowed one mishap per adventure and that has come and gone.
Don't forget to stop and appreciate your surroundings along the way. We're living vicariously through you!
We love you!

Hey DeWayne,
My mom caught me up on your trip and I was so glad to hear that you were able to continue on. I think you've completely lost your mind to ride a bike THAT far....but I'm very proud of your determination and strength and faith. Hope your trip continues safely and look forward to hearing that you've made it home safe and sound....with your legs and hindend in tact.
xoxox,
Cousin Jodi
