    Thanks Bounce for the pictures. I remember the snow well in Williams, Arizona. I don't remember it had ever snow there since I rode with Run for the Wall (RFTW) in 2005.

    And in Gallup, New Mexico, I am impressed with the Navajo indians and their patriotism. Respect and honor to all their warriors. Always bought a long-sleeve RFTW shirt every year thereafter.

    May God bless you and RFTW riders on their journey to Washington, DC from Los Angeles, CA and on their route home.

    Strength and honor,
