Good evening from Palm Springs, California. We've driven straight for two days but I guess we'll be making a right turn in the morning and heading north to wine country. The scenery has been spectacular. Just like our drive to Montana earlier this year, you can drive forever and see amzing sights. What a country.

NEWS

"This weekend I rode a challenging 130 miles in the Bike MS: Valero 2010 Alamo Ride to the River. Please help me reach my goal by visiting my personal page today and making a secure online donation at the link below.

I was diagnosed with MS in June of 2000. They have come a long way since I was diagnosed in the research thanks to the support of people like yourself, but we still have a ways to go. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, unpredictable disease of the central nervous system (the brain, optic nerves, and spinal cord). Living with MS means living with uncertainty.

I appreciate your support." Steve Nadeau

"Once again, Roger Foltz has been kind of enough to agree to call me from the stage at TICC and tell me the winners.

If you are not going to be able to go to Terlingua this year and would like to know the winners in a very timely manner, please let me know.

Either:
Call me at 817-975-2200.
Or
Email me at mikie@mcgarity.org

I’ll be happy to let you know right away." Mikie McGarity
