It takes a lot of human energy to support a journey across America in 25 days. A tip
of the hat to these folks who worked tirelessly to get us to the finish!! From Left to Right: Dana, Eveleyn, Don, Jay, Terry, Wes, Larry, Judith, Susan and Lon. Checkout a larger version of this photo |

Susan awarded each rider and crew member a beautiful plaque which included a nice
color photo taken in Colorado. Each person was awarded the plaque as she said some
nice words about each of us.
She then announced the new members of the PAC Tour Hall of Fame: an honor given to those riders who have ridden and/or crewed at least 10,000 miles in PAC Tours across America. Here she is showing the PAC Tour Hall of Fame Jersey which is awarded to the folks in the Hall of Fame. Checkout a larger version of this photo |

Pat Carter wears her newly awarded PAC Tour Hall of Fame Jersey. The culmination of

The end of PAC Tour is kind of like Graduating from High School ... you hate to see it be over but you know it's time to move on. One thing for sure: we'll have memories to last a lifetime ... many of which are documented in these web pages. We will attempt to add more memories from our notes and more photos from our other cameras to these pages ... to try our best to keep our memories alive for years to come!! |
