The journey continues

This was written yesterday but i was unable to post it.

Today we are headed back to Chadron from Lincoln and tomorrow we will catch up with our route in Dubois, Wyoming to ride on Friday into Jackson. It was really good to get to go to St. Louis. We stayed in the dorms at Washington University so we all got real beds. A number of people from Paige's trip last year came and stayed in the dorms too. Usually it's really awkward when two Bike & Buils trips meet but it really wasn't so bad. It was good to hear stories about Paige from people who knew her in similar circumstances but had different experiences with her. The memorial service on Monday was nice. I forget at times about how short the time was that I knew Paige. Hearing stories about Paige from her high school days and from her childhood was really neat because the same spirit we all saw and loved has been there forever. Paige knew who she was and wasn't afraid to be herself. Caring, intelligent, spontaneous, creative, wonderfully odd, and so much more that was her.
