Old friend

This is an update to our July, 2010 trip to Wyoming: While I was biking in and around Dubois, WY, I met an old guy (he was 71 at the time) walking across America..just because he could. His name was Jim Bragg, from Wisconsin, and he had sold his farm to some Amish & had plenty of free time. This was his second "season" to be walking & we had a good visit and exchanged e-mails & have stayed in touch. Well, he shows up at our back door on September 21, 2012 & what a surprise! We visit for an hour or so and he is driving this time & headed to Stillwater. Oklahoma for the 50th reunion of his Peace Corps group in Brazil. He did complete his quest in 2011, making it to Astoria, Oregon in three years. What a treat to see him again & help with the book he is writing about the adventure. Thanks, Jim, for looking me up!
