Proprietors, Conny and Steve Young donated their hospitality for Zac's cause!
Zac's arrival at the Antebellum Inn and was so pleasantly surprised at his evening's generous accomodations
Zac cycled 80 miles and said that he had a good after taking a day of rest in Chattanooga .
He should have another good day after his stay here!
How about the feast that was prepared for him! Dinner looks divine but not sure about the facial hair........
Today, Zac is scheduled to go from Winchester, TN to Lawrenceburg, TN. He was absolutely spoiled, staying at this very nice historic Bed and Breakfast called the Antebellum Inn. The Young's treated him royally. This was a result of a website search for Winchester and our cycling angels found us proprietors, Connie and Steve Young. They immediately invited Zac to stay with them. They sounded as nice as apparently they were accommodating. And Connie sent pictures before the evening was done. As you can see from the attached pictures, Zac was forced to sleep in very cushy comfort and served a fabulous meal. Mrs. Young was concerned that today's weather might be rainy and wanted Zac to have a great night's sleep.. There are truly wonderful people everywhere. We will have to have them come to Aiken for our celebration activities when Zac is done with his cross country journey and he has reached his goal for the LLS. A huge thank you for your generosity and your hospitality.
Today, Zac has a journey of 79 miles to Lawrenceburg where Davy Crockett, the pioneer, soldier, politician and industrialist lived from 1817 to 1821. Crockett was born in Limestone, northeast Tennessee but moved to Lawrence County where he served as a justice of the peace, a colonel of the militia and as a state representative. Along the bank of Shoal Creek, he established a diversified industry consisting of a gristmill, a powder mill, and a distillery. However, all three operations were washed away in a flood in 1821. Crockett moved to West Tennessee where he was elected to Congress. While he was in Washington, he fought for his people's right to keep the land that they had settled on the new frontier of West Tennessee. Crockett died at the Alamo Mission in March, 1836 while aiding the Texans in their fight for independence from Mexico.. There is a state park on Shoal Creek where the businesses stood.. That is the history lesson for the day..
*posted by Zac's mom and will be subject to his editing at his earliest convenience. I hope I am not totally embarassing him*
The thought for the day is please do something completely wonderful and generous for someone you do not know.... There is some mother that you would make very happy!

I can't begin to express how incredibly impressed I am with the generosity of the people that Zac has encountered along his journey thus far! As our students (at Sunset Park in Rock Hill, SC) continue to follow Zac's ride across the nation they find themselves increasingly more curious about several things. How his body is able to handle such a great distance of bike riding each day, the weather he's enduring, the mountains he's climbing and of course the history behind the places he has seen. (Love the history lessons!) Thank you for continuing to keep the blog updated, as well as the pictures of Zac along his adventure! We will continue to keep him in our thoughts and prayers!
