Cycling for Change, a 5000 mile bicycle pilgrimage
led by a Jesuit priest, Fr. Matt Ruhl, left Kansas City MO, in vans, driving
to the far corner of the Pacific Northwest. The group of 16 started their
ride at Cape Flattery WA, heading down Pacific Coast Highway to Portland
then turning east. On Day 14 the group pedaled into Lewiston, spending
the day working at St. Vincent de Paul Store, cleaning bikes and doing
their laundry. They then headed up the Culdesac Grade to the Monastery
of St. Gertrude, Cottonwood. The group of 10 men and 6 women gave a presentation
Sunday evening telling why they are riding coast to coast - to bring awareness
of the poverty in our country and how the trip was planned - three years
in the making. They will travel through 13 states when they reach Florida.
Catholic Charities USA is celebrating their 100th Anniversary in September.
They are dedicated to helping people in poverty. Over 40 million people
live below the poverty line. The Cycling for Change team is stopping at
homeless shelters and soup kitchens all along the way, helping out wherever
they can. After their stop at St. Mary’s Catholic Church for Mass,
the vans were loaded with sandwiches, cookies, fruits and vegetables, we
wished them well, said good-bye and they were gone to Greencreek and beyond.
That night they were to stay at Three Rivers Campground and by Wednesday
they were to be in Missoula. Follow them on their website: cyclingforchange.org
as they make their way to Key West FL by Labor Day. Click on the photo

Thunder clouds and lightning brought a surprise visit
to Virgil and Donna Wassmuth's place in Greencreek on Sunday, June 6th.
A group of people bicycling from Portland, Oregon to Washington D.C. stopped
by to get out of the rain. The group consisted of a family with nine
year old triplets, and another couple, Anne and Bill, who were their friends.
John and Valerie asked to bring the triplets, Deirdre, Ian and Zara, up
on the porch to get out of the storm. Virgil invited them to set
up their tents in the shop to dry out, because they had spent a miserable
night at Winchester State Park. They are traveling with everything
they need to camp and cook for themselves. They try to make 35 miles
a day, but the rain is hampering that. They plan to arrive at Washington
D.C. by August 31st. That is quite an undertaking, particularly with
3 nine year olds. It is admirable to see these people attempting
such a feat, but with their perseverance, they will make it! After warm
showers and a nice bed to sleep in, they were ready to head off toward
Lolo Pass. According to their website, they made it to Montana
on Friday. Click on the photo for a larger view.
