Jim, Ken, Bob, Tom & Jerry started their four state tour on October 11 at 10:00 from Lake Hawkins, Tx. We peddled east to Vivian, La. , then we headed north tell we got to Hope , Ak., then we headed west to Idabel, Okla.  The last leg October 19 was south back to Lake Hawkins. Smiley
Total miles about 427 over 9 days Tongue
Only two flat tires total Shocked
Only one day of misty rain, the other 8 days were beautiful. Couldn't ask for better weather Smiley
We spent two nights in Motels, two nights in churchs and the rest in state or city parks.
rbents used: 2 - trikes, 1- gold rush, 1 - thunder bolt lighting, 1- bachetta 
Everyone had a great time and I am looking forword to doing it again next year.  Smiley Smiley

Cookie,
 
Make that 3 flats. I had another about a mile after I left you. So I called the wife to pick me up with about one mile to go.
 
It was one of those "hair wires" off of those truck tires that I could not find the night before. I had to take the tire off the trike and turn it wrong side out to find it using a magnifying glass after I got home.
