After crashing with some amazing people like Debbie in Baker , Boats in Vegas, and the whole crew- Vicky, Adam, Jean Claude, Pauline, Brice and Pasqual near the strip...we are having the times of our lives.
All of the people we have met along the way so far have been amazing to us and our cause. After leaving Barstow we called a woman who we met in a thrift store and she told us that we could go to her house when we got to Baker...we got to Baker and rode to her place. Debbie came to the door with a big smile on her face, responding "MY N.Y BUDDIES!" she invited us in and let us shower, gave us some food and let us crash for the night....very cool woman and she also hooked us up with some good luck horseshoes for the bikes....hey were gunna need the luck for Vegas!
We then climbed 4,700 feet in elevation from Baker to Primm,NV. Along the way we got fed by 50 French people....they wouldn't take no for an answer and loaded us up with double stack chicken sandwiches, pizza, banana's....MERCI! We also spoke witha bunch of curious/interested people about the cause and met two guys named Boats and JT who told us to give em a call when we get into Vegas.
Finally broke into Nevada and stayed at Whiskey Pete's curtousy of Johnathan Hopp who is a driver who frequents the casino and had points to put us up in a room....thank ya Johnny Boy! We also hung out with him and a guys named Zeth (who hitchhiked 48 states when he was younger....kudos) We ate dollar hot dogs, played computer poker at the bar and got free drinks...4 am early morning breakfast came around and we got the big truckers $3 Mega sale Breakfast and we were served by an awesome bird named Vicky....we all had some laughs, felt the good vibes and she invited us to come to a BBQ when we get to Vegas...all riiiiiight!
