I just heard from Blake…10:05 p.m. central time. They had just finished eating a bite and had arrived at their hotel. They would have been there much sooner, but there was a big accident on the interstate they were traveling on and the police closed the road to traffic. Blake will give you details in a future blog, but traffic was stopped (going both east and west) for six hours. I think it involved five or six semis. In summary, a guy at the first roadblock they came upon told them they could bike on through. So they continued for a few miles until a policeman (with an attitude, I guess) stopped them and told them to sit where they were and wait unless they wanted to get arrested. They were in the middle of nowhere and finally, after it got dark, decided to start biking again partly because they were getting cold. At least “if they got arrested they’d be sitting in the back of a warm police car”. Anyway, by the time they came upon the scene of the accident there was no problem and the police there told them to go through.
I was glad to hear the phone ring tonight.
Hope
