Mike is leaving Idaho on July 16th at 7AM! He will fly into Salt Lake City and then take a direct flight to Minneapolis MN. He will be escorted by 2 Physical Therapists from EIRMC. Airfare for all 3 will be courtesy of EIRMC.....WOW! That is wonderful; I have never heard of such a thing. Mike says it's because they like him! He will be living at ELIM Home in Princeton. Dennis went to visit the facility and said it is a nice place with friendly staff.

Mike is very excited to get back to MN and be near family and friends again. I hope you will all plan to visit when you get the chance. Mike is still facing a long road of rehabilitation; let's help keep his spirits up.
Hope everyone had a great 4th of July. Mike really missed spending the weekend with us in Nashwauk and then at Buck Lake. The Range Riders ATV club always rides in the parade including Mike. He was remembered and I hung a sign on my wheeler for all to see. Dennis called him after the parade and filled him in on the people and activities while we ate lunch. It was sure quiet at the lake without his wet bike zooming around. Ok, maybe not that quiet. There were others with them. Now I find July flying by and Mike is still in Idaho.........
but not for long....
