For me, the emotions really hit when I saw the photo at the TD website of the fairy sticker on Dave B's bike. Funny how a kid's sticker can be such a strong symbol of a father's love. Wishing strength and peace to Dave in his travels, and to his family.SeattleM+Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-6855121662097393322010-06-25T14:57:15.517-06:002010-06-25T14:57:15.517-06:00So, so sad ...So, so sad ...Libbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-68565975884567992752010-06-25T14:18:33.416-06:002010-06-25T14:18:33.416-06:00That is so sad - I remember last year hearing abou...That is so sad - I remember last year hearing about Pete and how we felt on learning of his accident - this is so tragic.

Not quite so large as AK but pretty dang big and not very populated. Add in the surrounding states and you've got your work cut out for you to start exploring and reporting back to us. Glad your new job is looking good...and I look forward to the NEXT 5 years of your writing, in whatever form it takes.Matthttp://inane-asylum.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-55039285326131126002010-06-25T12:19:42.607-06:002010-06-25T12:19:42.607-06:00Terrible tragedy for the TD.

I've been an armchair Tour Divide junkie now for 3-4 years & my heart sank when I heard of his accident after his very upbeat call in just hours before.<br /><br /> My thoughts & prayers will be with his family & my bike rides this weekend will be in honor of Dave.paxtoncoyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15738361291848546953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-13000483481848196132010-06-25T08:19:55.966-06:002010-06-25T08:19:55.966-06:00Wow, how sad.
