Day 62
August 2nd, 2007

After an early morning wake up and check out from the dorms at Morehead we headed down to a sponsored breakfast at McDonalds. It was a great day on the road. The ride was about 80 miles and continued to display some beautiful countryside. Early in the day we passed by this used car dealership that I thought had an amusing name. I am not sure I would buy a car from Mr. Lying Lee. When we were passing through one of the small towns and stopped at a crew stop getting some more water a man approached us wanting to do a radio interview on us. Media is not rare on the Journey of Hope but this was slightly unusual to have a person approach us to do a story. Jake did the interview. At the last part of our ride we left Kentucky and entered West Virginia. After a couple of days in West Virginia we will head into our last state on Virginia. Only 10 days left! I am excited for the trip to end but I really do not want it to at the same time. I am having the time of my life out here on the road. Once into lodging at Huntington High School we had to do a bunch more media stuff then we had a little break before dinner. For dinner we had a great friendship visit with Mountain State Center for Indipendent Living at a local park. They had a great catered meal for us by a local BBQ catering company. It was really neat to talk to some of the people about how the organization helps them live nearly completely independent lives. We also gave the organization a grant to help them improve their programs. After dinner a few of us headed to the mall to look around at the stores and pick out a gag gift for another member of the team.
