Into your last desert now. Man Russ ... this is just amazing. I think was mostly lost for words when you begun this epic journey and even now I find myself still mute for encouragement or words of awe. What does one say to someone who is out there amongst those dunes in the middle of this country with a bike and some meager supplies? I flew over the desert in late May when you were on the CSR ... that desert looks amazing from up there. How someone can ride a bike across it escapes me completely. You are in our thoughts often. Keep pedaling.

Good luck Russ!

You're going through some spectacular country and it is in prime condition right now. I'm very envious, of both the strength of character it takes to even begin a journey such as this, but also of being out there, amongst the spectacular desert landscape.

I really look forward to seeing pics and reading your reports from this leg as I have from the previous.

cheers,
Greg

p.s. To the people following Russ' progress, consider giving to the RFDS. Very worthy donation and cause.
