This is Chuck and Mary's home in the wilderness. Nobody could find this place, it's miles off the beaten path, but once you finally get here it's beautiful, quiet and serene. Just what we needed after 5 days on the bikes. It's been beautiful since we arrived yesterday, very warm and sunny.

This is looking down toward the horse arena from the house. It's kind of nice to have the animals around, but they've warned us about a big black bear roaming around here, sometimes even coming up on the front porch. We've been "bear hunting" ever since we arrived. Murray won't go out after dark, he's sure he's attractive to the bear!

The boys with their toys. With all the bikes and animal heads in Chuck's garage, there's no room for a car. The guys spent the day getting the bikes ready for the trip, while Nancy and Debbie went shopping and Mary went to work.



This is a short video of Murray's bike, sounds good but it doesn't really capture the true sound of the new pipes!

Nancy and Debbie strolled through Lake Arrowhead Village all morning and into the afternoon. The lake was beautiful and blue and the shopping was great. Poor Mary, she had to be up at 3 am to get ready for an all day scrapbooking event at her shop. She worked until 5 pm and then we all went to dinner.

The loot!

Chuck and Mary treated us to dinner at the local Chinese Restaurant. We had a lot of fun together, as you can tell by the smiles. Food was good, too.

Tomorrow is Sunday, and Murray is speaking. All the guys are riding their bikes to coffee in the morning and then on to church. Talk to you all later.
