The Adventure Comes to an End

Once upon a time…so the story goes.

Our incredible 15 day bicycle expedition is complete and I am with my family once more. It was everything I thought it would be and more. More hills, more mountains, more blustery weather and more chilly than we imagined. But we made it and saw such exquisiteness that only God could fashion with a spread of colors beyond what an artist ever used.


Now that I am finished I want to say a big ‘thank you’ to some special people in my life:

My beautiful wife, Jill: not only did she support such a wild adventure and helped me pull it off she updated the blog every day taking my ramblings and made sense from them. Without her partnership and love I would not have wanted to go. Thanks Jill!

Also, to those who desired to support missions through this endeavor. If you were one that wanted to give certain amount per mile to our work in Russia we say ‘Thank you’! Every penny that comes in, 100% will go to our work in Russia so it is a rock solid investment in the Kingdom of God. If you made a pledge or want to be a finincial part of our work in Russia send a check to: Terence T. Hall, 1245 East Stetson Avenue, Post Falls, Idaho 83854. Let me say again, 100% will go to our work in Russia. Thanks for your wonderful partnership!

Thomas Hall - thanks for the ride! It was a great challenge and an achievement we will remember the rest of our lives. We made it! Now the stories can grow over the years (was it you or me that fought with the bear?)

Lastly, I want to articulate my thanks to Dave and Linda Johnson (sister and brother-in-law). They were the
adhesive that kept us together in the rain, cold and hills. If they were not there I think I would still be lost somewhere in the mountains of Alaska. Thanks Dave and Linda for everything (and Martin and Mitzy: faithful traveling watch dogs).
If you have any comments please feel free to leave them or want to visit with us by phone just call (208) 699-5500.

Thanks for following our trek. As before, this blog will follow us all across Russia – up dated every week or two so please check back again. God bless you…and keep peddling!
