North America.............Check
Three weeks of Montezuma's Revenge and it was time to let some drugs help where my body could not. I am healthy again and my spirits are higher than ever. After having a good rest in San Cristobal, MX, I headed solo in the direction of Guatemala.
I have always been partial to the mountains in the past and the Mexican mountains are no acception. I've gotten the best nights of sleep since I was in nothern California. The terrain here is nothing short of breathtaking. It's also a treat being able to really appreciate it here without all of the trash on the roadsides. And the roadkill doesn't get a chance to bake in the heat since the vultures here are on their game. I crossed the border into Guatemala yesterday a little after noon. I was very excited about this since, in respect to the trip, I have completed North America!
Thanks to everyone that has helped me get this far.

It's great to read your notes! It's amazing how many miles you have ridden! Several people at my office are enjoying your experiences also. They have been quite surprised at the number of places you have traveled. Keep it up Quinn...it will be great to see your family at the end of the trip!

This is Aunt Rose Mary's daughter, Cyndi. What an amazing accomplishment! We are pledging .25/mile for your next day on the rode. My son Steven is pledging .10/mile for all the miles you ride on his birthday, Sept 30th! If you take the day off he'll take the miles you ride the day before or after! Keep the wheels turning!!!

Quinn, you are a man. Your a man who discovered the wheel and built the eiffel tower out of metal and brawn. Thats the kind of man you are. Keep them big wheels turning.
