Trek 13 - I don't know this about this heat!?
So now that I am at a better WiFi setup and my Smartphone isn't running out of battery. (I have to save my battery on my cell phone for communication with the support team.) Anyway how were the last few days. Craziness!! Trying to survive the heat. We ride into a town and the McDonalds has a sign that says extreme heat wave has created a dangerous situation, to be careful. And we were just out on paved road riding our bicycles. I was so tired on one hill that I had to walk my bike up to the top of the Pass. No signs of heat exaustion, (or maybe I just described one to you) we are trying to drink lots of water and eat. A little bit challenging when the water is hot water and food doesn't taste because of being so hot. We have been riding on some highways, plenty of room on the side of the road, I had researched if we could do that or not. I thought I understood that we could ride on highway 84. We took a rest stop under a bridge in the shade. After we started a police man stopped us and informed us that we were not allowed to be riding on the Highway. He said we could take a side road but it would take us 22 miles out of the way and up a mountain that we would not have had to go over. On a bicycle that is not an easy task. The officer said, 'Be safe.' The back roads were less safe?!? Anyway God is good, I am not sure what the meaning is at this time or I may never know. I thought we might be half a day ahead of schedule, now I think we are half a day behind. I haven't been taking as many pictures lately because we have been in survival mode. If we stop it is under a bridge in the shade. Stopping along the road takes up time that we need to keep moving since our pace has slowed down. These last two day we have been pulling the bike trailer and all carrying more weight so the support team would have time at the Autry's. We appreciate your prayers. We have been talking to people along the way, they love the trek we are on. We are giving them Gospels of John and we pray the Holy Spirit will work in the prepared soil of their hearts.
