It’s Almost Over!!!

Posted on by

Doesn’t it seem like it was just yesterday I posted my first blog regarding Bill leaving on his great adventure?  Nope, not really!!  In fact, at the time I am typing this it has been 26 days, 11 hours and 30 minutes — but I’m not counting.

I just got a message from RiverslayersGirl who received a call from Rod.  He stated they were in Dunedin, about 30 miles from the finish.  They were getting something to eat, going to camp for the night, then expected to arrive tomorrow between 1:00pm and 2:00pm.  The finish line is at the boat ramp at Ft. Desoto.  If you can, please come out and welcome him home.

  7. I just checked and see that you and Riverslayer completed the UFC today at 12:47pm, Woo Hoo! Congratulations to you and Riverslayer. It was my pleasure to learn about you and follow your progress from the beginning to the finish of this challenge. Your skills and talents in addition to your preparation, planning, initiative, commitment, focus and perseverence were exemplary. What was impressive in addition to all the aforementioned was your good sportsmanship. My hat is off to you. You have my respect and admiration.
