We had a jam packed day today, zero free time. We left our Lutheran Church in Abilene after some wise words from the pastor. He told us all that God chose us to take this task, and that he will guide us when lost and lift us when tired. The ride was a tough one, 115 miles through the hottest weather since the Mojave. And to our surprise, it was rather hilly. There was no rackpoint, however, so the goal was simply to get there. At mile 65, lunch was served by Zach Schatz, Kyle Wilson, and Blair Hancock, brothers from our TCU chapter who volunteered to drive down and grill out for us. After lunch, we kept trucking until we reached Dublin, TX. There, we popped in the world's oldest Doctor Pepper bottling facility (it was tiny) to sample some soda. It was made the old fashioned way at a fountain, and was delicious. On a newfound energy from the sugar, we pushed onward to Stephenville, where we immediately got dressed for a pool party/BBQ. I was exhausted. Afterwards, we washed the vans for our arrival in the FWD area tomorrow. I'm beyond excited but need a night's rest! Heres a few pics from the day:
