Today we had a fabulous send off/anniversary party with our families. We elected to get together the night before in order to be able to get an early start on the road Saturday morning. Lola made us an awesome meal of pizza, pineapple, and strawberry shortcake. Thanks for the great meal Lola! We said our good-byes and took a few pictures. Then we had a short test run leg of 8 miles to make sure everything was working properly. Mike and Andy escorted us to the end of the driveway, and then we were off. We then spent one last night in New Lisbon after one final check of our gear to make sure nothing was forgotten.
