Welcome to Kindred Spirits Across the Southern USA Blog

Welcome friends & family.  This blog will chronicle the adventures of five adventurers, Paul & Gayle Poorman, Dana Grigg, Paul Collins, and Craig Kjar, as they cycle from San Diego, California to St. Augustine, Florida by bicycle.  Paul C. and Craig will be riding single bikes.  Paul P. and Gayle will be riding their new Calfee tandem.  Dana will be taking pictures and driving the support vehicle.  The ride will start at the beginning of October and hopefully finish by mid-November.  Within this blog will be posted stories, pictures, anecdotes, ride maps, and daydreams.  Some of our group will have pseudonyms, for example, Paul P.'s pen-name is "Thomomous Talpoides", aka Latin for pocket gopher.  We hope you all enjoy hearing about our adventure and maybe we'll see you on the road somewhere!
