Cooler weather helps ride

Hi All,
Last night I was actually cool. I was riding through a town called Hope and I saw a church that had a 6:00 bible study, so I waited an hour and sat in on there meeting. There was about a dozen folks. There are not that many permanent residence around here, so 12 in a good attendance. The snow birds will be showing up now that October is here. Pastor Ron and his wife allowed me to sleep on the church porch, and gave me money for breakfast.
The cross wind which has, at times, helped me turned today and was fighting my progress. The strong North wind has cooled it off 15 degrees or so. It only in the low 90's today. I'm at the junction of my turn directly north in to the wind. I'm not looking forward to the struggle the next 80 miles or so. I'll will be going up 3000 more feet against the wind. It is going to cut in to my miles per hour a lot.
Thank you for praying about my tent. I stopped at a garage sale and bought a used tent. The zippers are froze up, and it is larger and heavier than I would like, but for 10.00 I had to try. I was able to find a Napa repair station which allowed me to use their dw40 on the zippers, I hope it will work. I've heard thunder storms are for casted for the Prescott area. I heard they have a mission where I might be able to take a much needed shower.
I must go now, I only get 30 minutes on the computer here, thanks for checking the site, and have a wonderful day, yours in Christ, Daniel
