​2006
2006 was the first year.  I was the only one to go all the way but I had some wonderful support along the way.  Norm & Alice Mitchell rode a long ways, I think from Springfield, MO to Barstow, CA, that is them next to the Blue Whale.  The first photo was me all by myself at the Navy Pier in Chicago.  The second photo is my wife, family and friends.  The very last photo is the first of 3 covers I had on Wing World.
