Camp Hope Riders

Day 3 began with a late start.  We got one of the bikes serviced and spent most of the day on the road.  We arrived in Farmington, Missouri late and exhausted.  But every day is an opportunity to meet people and share Camp Hope’s message, and today was no different.  In Farmington we were met by Jerry and Jimmy, and by VFW Post 5896 and Tony Carroll the Post Commander who welcomed us into Farmington with dinner and warm hospitality.  After spending some time at the VFW, Jerry and Jimmy escorted us to Camp Hope.  The place is great!!!  More to follow…

As promised, here’s a photo from our Canopy Tour… and a video as well!  Check it out.  After the fun, when coming back out from the zip-line course, we encountered several individuals admiring our bikes.  We shared with them the purpose of our ride, and handed them a couple Camp Hope flyers.

Two of them showed special interest.  One had a friend who has a cable show with a similar mission to help wounded veterans.  And he promised to share Camp Hope, its message and work with this friend.  The other individual was a fly-fishing guide.  He said he couldn’t offer a friend with a cable program, but said what he could offer were his services.  The message is getting out… one person at a time.

After leaving Beckley, we continued our ride and made our way to Louisville, Kentucky.  We were met there by Mike A., his lovely wife Deana, and members of his club the Guns of Justice.  We had a great time with them and they made us feel at home.  Their plan is to have a Poker Run in support of Camp Hope.  Thanks Mike and Deana, and all the friends we met from Guns of Justice!
