Meridian Mississippi

Sela Ward from CSI NY is from Meridian. She organized a home for abused children called Hope Village - the carousel horse is at the visitor center - smaller ones are for sale in the city and the proceeds go to the children's home.

911 Memorial

More 911 Parade Pictures

220 bikes rode in the parade down the boardwalk - very impressive! Special ceremony held at the Fireman Memorial.

Furnace Town - hot blast furnace used in early 1800's. Bog ore was added to furnace, heated to 3000 degrees and iron was extracted and shipped to large cities.

Rode through some historic areas and beautiful countryside today. Had a large group for the ride. Some of the chapters choose to use red vests rather than black - Canada and some of the eastern US chapters - interesting to meet so many different people.

FYI - after 4 days rain gear leaks and you still get wet! Waves on the beach are strong here - foggy now, hope the sun comes out later.
