Al somehow found me on the internet and asked my help for his mission. Al wants to sail in every state in the United States. Thursday we headed toward Mallard Island to enabler Al to knock off North Dakota. At breakfast this morning Kadizzle told Al he admired people who have the guts just to ask. So much can be accomplished by simply asking. Al has asked sailors in every state to give him a sail, and they have complied. How many people go through life too shy or with too much fear to simply ask?
When you are outgoing things happen. Years ago we met Darch in a campground in Arizona. Darch is the most active 72 year old you will find. Darch can ride a mountain bike on trails most twenty year olds would not brave. So today we helped Darch get going on the Ma Da Hey trail. That trail in the North Dakota Badlands is a rugged and tough trail. Years ago Kadizzle took a writer for the New York times and a couple of his buddies out there to ride the trail. They thought they could do it in a straight 24 hour period. Well only one made it, and one ended up in the hospital. Old Darch has probably settled in for the night. He is doing it alone, which Kadizzle frankly thinks is unwise. In a few day we will know how Darch did when he comes out of the wilderness. Hopefully Darch will be in shape to take a restful sail on the good ship.
