On Monday evening Todd passed through my home town of Ranger, TX. It never was very big but it's really just a stop light and a few buildings now. Anyway I couldn't be there but my folks still live there and were very happy to have Todd and his dad over for dinner, I'll let him tell the story on his blog.
Then today he was in Irving, Tx, just up the road from me. I met him, his wife and son for lunch at a Mexican resturant reccomended by his inlaws and it was awsome! Todd had one of the biggest burritos I've ever seen. For those familiar with Chipotle resturants, it was equal to a medium. That's the nice part of burning a huge number of calories, you can eat what you want and how much you want.
Anyway, he is truly an amazing guy to be undertaking this journey solo. I would like to ask anyone who is going to close to his path to make an effort to go out and meet him. It would be well worth your time.
