MP - The Franciscan Peacemakers Family - I am a member of the Board of Directors of this ministry for women trapped in prostitution, drug abuse & human trafficking. Breaking free from that lifestyle is much more difficult than my cross country bicycle journey. I admire the women who take the brave step to freedom.

Today was what I imagined about when I signed up for this trip. It was a bit cool in the morning, but I just put enough layers on & all was well. There was a little bit of climbing, but nothing steep, and a lot of downhill or flat riding. This was fun. The scenery was nice, with some low mountains in the background.

We also entered our 3rd State & here is proof I was there
Had lunch at a wayside which marked the location where Geronimo surrendered
And here’s a picture of an abandoned fieldstone building along the road that I thought was picture worthy.
