4.25.07: Ride to the MS Border

Weather: Light winds, low 80s; humid with building clouds, evening thunder showers

Ride: 23.3 miles Check out our route…

We have met a number of folks who have returned to York after living and working in other cities (New York, Chicago, Detriot, LA). We asked them why they decided to return. Some came back to take care of loved ones, others simply returned because York is a peaceful place to retire. The main reason though, to return to York, is because it is home.

So, based on these conversations, the next slogan emerged:

Slogan # 3:

Come Home to York

We went to Cuba to go for a bike ride to the Mississippi border with Linda Munoz and her family. Doug joined us on his scooter.

As usual, we had to be aware of the many logging trucks en route.

We arrived at the Munoz’s house, a beautiful (but once haunted!) house that they have restored so that it is now included on the National Register of Historic Places.

While we were riding to the state border, Linda shared one of many stories about the spirit who resided in their house up until the time it was listed on the National Registry. We could tell we reached the state border when the pavement’s color and texture changed.
