UPDATED: Day 23: Sebree, KY
I'm sitting here with Spencer and Brandon- Spencer was nice enough to let me use his computer to update our web site! So far Sebree has treated us like kings... but let me catch you up first.
Day 19 we rode from Berea, KY to Chimney Rock Campground. The campground had a pool that we made good use of.
Day 20 was from Chimney Rock to Bardstown. We stopped in at the bike shop in Bardstown, KY and got a tune up. We stayed at My Old Kentucky Home State Park Campground and received a shipment of replacement bike tires. Oh the maintenance. We met George Rickard, a fellow biker who has been with us since. This is his second Transamerican Tour.
Day 21 we headed to Hodgenville and stayed in the city park. We saw Lincoln's birthplace, which was surprisingly small.
Day 22 was to Rough River Dam, possibly the smelliest place we've ever stayed. There was something horribly wrong, and we didn't stick around to find out what it was. It stunk. The beach on the lake was GREAT though, and we spent some time swimming around in Rough River Lake. We never found out if it was a river or a lake. It WAS rough.
Day 23 was yesterday, to Utica Fire Station. We stayed in the firehouse which was PLUSH. AC, cable TV, the works. We hung out with a bunch folks in Utica and had a blast. On the way we picked up our packages in Fordsville...
*UPDATE* The folks in Utica, Vicki and Kim and Angel and the whole crew at the Food Mart already sent us an email and wished us luck and how we made their town better. I made up the last part, but they did send us an email. Thank you UTICA and all the people there for a KICKING good time! We'll stop in next time we're in town! Angel actually said I had a cute butt, but I think it was the spandex that kept it from looking flabby. Either way, thank you Angel for the compliment.
THANK YOU! It was quite possibly the most exciting moment of the trip to date, we definitely got a picture with the staff of the post office and some random people who happened to be passing by. We ate most of everything there in the parking lot and strapped the rest to our bikes.
Today we chugged a short two hours to Sebree, where we are staying at the 1st Baptist Church. Even plusher. They have a huge downstairs youth group area with basketball thingies and a big TV and DVD player. Oh this is living.
Sorry to make it short, but I don't want to take up too much time on the "information superhighway". Don't worry, pictures are forthcoming and will be worth the wait.

Hi guys. Mom and Dad Robertson checking in. We are back in the East after 11 days on the left (West) coast. Saw two YL camps in British Columbia and visited old friends the Buskirks in Silverdale, WA. First visit in 19 years. DaveyRay will remember them because they were our best friends when we lived there; 'course he was just a little kid then.
Had a good visit with Joel (DR's brother) and Kim and MacKenzie in San Diego, including a rocking worship at their church. Flew back yesterday to DC and now are in PA awaiting rendevous with Mary to pass back GMa, who was with Mary during our perpetations. Home tonight.
Will be sending a package soon.
Totally impressed by your consistent ministry in His name as you pass through various towns.
Lots of love and prayers every day.
Ma n Pa Robertson
