Out of Texas and into Louisiana gaining 130.0 miles for a great day. Conditions were good to start with early morning fog lasting into late morning allowing us to move faster earlier which has been the best for us. We were able to go a little later because it never got hot until around 3 pm. We got in to real Cajun country. We went through Oberlin, LA the home of Mississippi State great fullback Hoyle Granger one of my very favorite Bulldogs. Hoyle played at MSU in the early 1960s and was one of the top pure fullbacks to play ever in the SEC. They said he got his strong legs from working as a boy in the rice fields in Oberlin. We saw plenty of rice fields (but no kids working in them today).
We will take another day of rest tomorrow, Monday. My body is tired, we need to rotate some tires and maybe get a chain fixed. We have been over 2000 miles and are getting set for the final push. We are in a nice motel in Eunice, LA about 15 miles from where we left the route in Mamou, LA.

Wow,never thought I'd here a positive comment about fog. Glad you had a good day. Things are going well here with the pledges still coming in. There are a lot of people praying for continued health and safety for the Webb Team. May god continue to bless you both.

Jimmy & Cindy Webb,
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you for these great achievements God has allowed you to accomplish. I'm in a total disbelief of the miles you aquire everyday. I'd be lucky to ride 2 miles all day. I love you guys and will keep praying for you. God's speed.

Hi Jimmy and Cindy,
ReplyDeleteI pray you'll be refreshed today knowing you are out there pleasing God in all that landscape. You should see the postings that Margo is putting up in our front room. Every day there's a new 8 X 11 plastic sleeve page up on the wall complete with color graphecs and blog spot. They're going to be all the way around the room by the time you're done.
God is so good. Every time I think of you both I think about that.

As I'm watching Jimmy's progress I keep thinking about just driving that distance! What an awesome inspiration you are to all of us! God bless you and be with you.
