Well it's been a while since I wrote anything here, and I think I better get up to the current day. The photo you see here is of Jed cooking waffles at a motel where he stayed with his sister in Missouri. The town of Green Ridge is about 30 miles from the end of the Katy trail in Clinton, Missouri, and Jed's sister Buffy wanted badly to ride her bike beside Jed for the last 25-30 miles of his run on that trail. She packed up her bike, brought the little ones to our house, and started for Green Ridge from Kearney Mo. where she lives. Her husband Ande was away on a school assignment. When she got to the general area she found the trail, and not long after, she saw Jed running down the trail. She was pretty excited to see him. She packed him up into her car, and they drove off to the motel she had reserved for the night. After a much needed shower for Jed, he was taken out to eat, and eat, and eat. You burn up an obscene amount of calories running 30 or so miles a day. The next morning after a continental breakfast of waffles and more waffles, they set out for Green Ridge where Buff had picked him up. Parking her car, she unloaded her bike, hoisted his pack onto her own back, climbed onto her bike and they were off for the last leg of the trail. My husband and I planned on meeting them in Clinton with the little girls, doubling back to get her car, then making the drive back to Kansas City for a much anticipated reunion with the rest of the family. Excitement!!!
