4,000 miles for a Better World



		4,000 miles... The typical American may never walk that distance in an entire lifetime, yet a child or mother living in rural Africa could very well walk that distance in a single year just to retrieve water. We're biking across the country to bridge that gap – to raise awareness on nutritional and health issues here at home, while supporting the work to provide clean water for communities in rural Africa. 4,000 miles for a more equitable, sustainable, and healthy world. Follow us on our journey.

Travelling along the Mormon Trail is a humbling experience

August 20th - Day 35 - Rawlins, WY to Sweetwater Station, WY - 85 miles

I woke up to a strong cross/headwind blowing across the open expanses of Wyoming. The day started into the wind going up a long, tiring climb with absolutely no cover to slow the wind. During this climb I had a lot of time to scan the roadside and admire all of the litter that seems especially prevalent on this stretch of road. By watching the roadside flotsam I acquired a new friend. I spotted a McDonald's kid's meal teddy bear at the edge of the pavement and quickly stopped to scoop him up. I've attached him to the rear of my trunk bag and named him NASMART because he's doing the TransAm looking backward.

Boiling Ham and Cynthia Rocks

August 19th - Day 34 - Saratoga, WY to Rawlins, WY - 44 miles

This morning we went into downtown Saratoga to the city pool and hot sulphur springs. The springs are free of charge and open year round. They have three progressively cooler pools setup: one concrete pool built around the main source spring, one at the outflow of that pool as it flows into the river blocked off by stones, and a third cooler pool that is nearly the temperature of the river water (very cold). The water enters the hottest pool at about 110-120 degrees. We started out in the medium heat pool where we talked with some other people that were on vacation and just passing through. We then worked our way into t ... Read More

Wildlife welcome to Wyoming

August 18th - Day 33 - Walden, CO to Saratoga, WY - 68 miles

Acting on a tip from the park manager (who turned off the sprinklers for us last night) we set out early this chilly morning to find some moose. He told us that the town transplanted about 25 moose to the area years ago and now the population was kept around 600 individuals. We went into the Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge (on a different road than I rode yesterday) and saw mule deer, hawks, ground squirrels, and lots of cows, but no moose. It wasn't until we asked a park ranger where the best viewing was that we found an area that moose frequent. We walked along a boardwalk and spotted a bull moose about 50 yards away. ... Read More
