Not a day goes by when one of us - Peter, Andrew or me - does not look at your website to get the latest updates and read about your marvelous adventure! You have been so brave and tenacious and good-spirited in the face of challenges that would have left anyone else crestfallen and ready to throw in the towel. But you hve persevered and you are almost "home" - most certainly in the home stretch...how is Kaisa holding up???? We continue to pray for you and all of your fellow passengers and entourage, hoping that MANY happy moments are serendipitously peppered throughout the angst over the possibility of engine troubles. I imagine that the good spirited friendship of Alice and Hermine, just like the ebullient synergy between Emily and Christie, and the laughter of your whole team, will bring you to the Golden Gate with the promise of history well-celebrated, energy well-spent, team memories like none other, and many many stories to be told! We are sorry not to be with you as you complete "Emily's Grand Adventure" next week, but we will be all eyes and open hearts as you cross the finish line... Love from Peter, Andrew and Isabel Weston, Massachusetts Greetings to Team Anderson from the Ramsey/Phillips household on this Fourth of July, 2009!

Today I'm celebrating my 70th birthday vicariously enjoying your adventure. I've been back & forth a few times, but not as neatly as you are doing it. (And had my share of breakdowns!) San Francisco is waiting for you. Just read about you in the VC Quarterly. Today I’m celebrating my 70th birthday vicariously enjoying your adventure.

Thanks to everyone that's been posting the blogs. Even though we're stuck back here in IL, it feels like we're riding behind you all the way to San Fran. Tim and Rich are awesome. I"m not sure who was having more fun when Babbs was behaving, you girls or the guys who put Babbs together. Tell the camera crew they are very photogenic. It's nice to see shots of that group posted on here as well. Keep up the good work. We're all rooting for ya. Wow, what great pictures! Thanks to everyone that’s been posting the blogs.

We pray for your safety as well as time to create a wonderful memory for your family and team. Blessings to you all. Following your progress has been a vivid reminder of what it has meant to say “California or bust”. Your tenacity in the face of adversity has given us a deeper appreciation for all those who have made that journey. Godspeed as you reach for that glorious Golden Gate.

Tim & Rich are finally getting some rest. I'm sure the tension has just about disapeared from their minds & that sure makes the trip that more enjoyable for them, It's tough to relax when you are always worring about breaking down. It's all down hill now. Keep smiling & hi to everyone. Steve & Marianne Davis GO BABS, I am glad to hear that she is running good. Tim & Rich are finally getting some rest.
