Leaving Ligonier, to Kendallville, IN & into Ohio...

                             After leaving Ligonier, ID, our next town to hit was Kendallville where they escorted us all through town with the local PD blocking the intersections while our fire escort led us to the other end of town. Our motto so far has been start slow and finish strong but this morning we started fast, went even faster through Kendallville. Thank you for supporting this ride and keeping us safe and for adding your patch to the trailer for FDNY!

After 108 miles, we reached our destination in Bowling Green, OH and their main fire station. Thanks to all of you for dinner and a very comfortable night's sleep. BTW F/F Terry Busch will be riding with us for a few miles as we head for Cleveland.
