East of the Divide


Growing up in Montana was an incredible blessing that I took for granted for many years. I would ride my motorcycle up the "Going-To-The-Sun" highway along the Continental Divide in Glacier Nat'l Park just for kicks. I crossed the Divide again today, in New Mexico. The scenery was a little different (it moved by quite a bit slower), it wasn't quite as high in altitude but we crossed it none the less.

We're almost done with riding interstate highways, I'm hoping tomorrow is the last day. Today we had a much smoother ride but we did have to negotiate about three miles of construction between Lordsburg and Deming. We tried to find alternate routes but neither frontage road would lead us where we needed to go, so into the fray we six went. It was a little unnerving for some but the highway crew was gracious and we made it through ok.
I want to express my gratitude to Wheel Power Christian Cyclists for hosting Ed and I on this ride to help promote the need for Bible translation. Please be sure to check out their website--it's under "cool links" on the right column.
