The final leg is tough going
Yet Another message from Russ 26 July 09
All across the Simpson I was too tired to appreciated the starry night skies, sleep came easy. Tonight I look at the stars and wonder whether this will be the last bush camp fire for this expedition. This has been a rewarding adventure but I now look forward to arriving in Alice Springs and home. Getting to sit in a seat I don't have to pedal and catching up on all I've missed.

I can't wait to finish at Alice Springs now to get out of this weather. It's relentless but for once I have some tail winds.

Yesterday I had to make the call to accept a lift from my backup team to get through bull dust country between Mt Dare ( http://www.mtdare.com.au/ ) and Old Andado before the rain set in. We got through just in the nick of time but regular drops on the windscreen left us anxious. Beautiful rainbows welcomed us to Old Andado homestead ( http://www.oldandado.com/ ). Early start for me again in horrendous wind this morning.
