Vacation day 12 Visiting Family in Roland, OK

---

Well we had a great day, James and I spent the morning doing laundry so we can start our let phase of our excellent adventure :-). After getting our chores done we rode up to Raymond & Becky's house and went out to lunch with them, then we went for a ride into Arkansas up route 71 on the pig trail again ending up at Devils Den Cavern. After getting there we rode back to Roland and Raymond barbequed some awesome steaks and pork for us and more family came by to visit.

James and I both want to thank Raymond & Becky for all the hospitality and love they showed us for this visit and we could not have felt any more at ease no matter how self reliant I like to be :-). Raymond you’re a special man. God bless you, Jack.

a sad goodbye
What a great time we had with Jack and James! I was inspired to buy 2 bikes! Although I had little time to know Jack...I feel he is a brother to me..and James...a cousin we don't talk about!...Kidding! It is our hope that we will all make it a point in our lives to start spending more time together...Be safe and come back soon! Raymond and Becky

Bye and see ya' soon
Hi Jack and James-- James, it was a pleasure to meet you--you are obviously a good influence on my brother--keep the blues alive! I'm not sure which one of you can't read a map--but this area is a good place to get lost in--so who cares, ya' know. Jack--due to some unforeseen circumstances--I didn't have the time off that I was hoping for. I sure wish we could have spent some more time together--but I'm grateful for the time and the ride we took. I'm looking forward to more of them. I hope you two have a safe and great ride home. Tell the family in Cali that we all said 'Hey' God Bless Love, Caroline, Adeline, Avery and Sarah P.S.--The blog is a lot of fun to read. Good job, guys
