NYFD

We received a nice escort from GW bridge to the NYFD Memorial for fallen fire fighters

Rescue 1 NYFD

Introductions and presentation of the Bay2Brooklyn2011 banner with patches to Rescue 1 Station FDNY. Thank you to Lt. Donnely for allowing us to visit with you and your crew and accept our gift to FDNY. Our 343 memorial ride allowed us to connect the West with the East and fire departments in between.

Hackettstown, PA

Thanks TC
Here are a few pics from Hackettstown, PA. A little car repair as the trailer lights were giving us a little trouble. We met Jim at Mama's Restaurant the night we got in and this guy is connected. Set us up with a live radio interview and then found us a shop to get the car fixed. Thanks Jim and to everyone else we met there. To Norm, David and Joyce, thanks for the great interview opportunity. Enjoy the pictures.


Soooo Close

Look, it fits!!!!!

19 mile escort

We left Pocono Summit, PA under another day of rain. Just before leaving the hotel, Bobby got permission from Chief George to give us an escort through and out of town. 19 miles later at the PA/NJ border we parted with Bobby and were led to the Delaware Gap where we crossed over the Delaware River into New Jersey. On the other side, we stopped at a rest stop and met up with our support trailer. A couple happened to be driving by and saw the 343 and pulled over to see what we were all about. Turns out they had a relative in the towers from FDNY. Very moving moment for all of us. This is not the first time someone has come up and found the name of a loved one from our logo. The reaction is always the same. We find the name for them and there is a need to place their fingertips over the name. Solemn special moments!!
