Day 21 Zac reports in!

We heard from Zac....He had left his phone in Memphis, accounting for the silence for the past few days.. However, we knew that he was safe and cycling with friends from Memphis so we remained calm. Zac has had good days since leaving Memphis. He was fortunate to have 6 friends ride with him for a few days. They had to return, leaving 3 to ride for a couple more days. They had some great days, cycling up to 100 miles in one day. The fellow riders were picked up by friends from Memphis and Zac's phone was also brought to him. Unfortunately, Zac called in when we were in the middle of a chaotic wedding set up. Therefore, we have limited knowledge of specifics. Zac had crossed the Tennessee border into Kentucky. He was somewhat deterred by the closing of a ferry due to the rising fuel costs. A route change had to be determined and delayed him. Day 21 was a rest day in Kentucky where he had met several locals.....
Zac missed the wedding of one of his high school friends. It was a great gathering of his friends who all asked about him.. Thank you.

Hey, Zac's mom! Your son is one incredible man. And he says you're pretty incredible for ultimately encouraging him to take on his self-imposed challenge. With his determination and charm, I believe he will well surpass his goal of 15K. All of us at Otherlands and the former Square Foods wish him well!
