EVENING OF July 29 th Following Jimmy Wayne To The Finish Line




After our great lunch ,and monsoon we headed back out to Ft. McDowell Rv / park
were KNIX was broadcasting every 15 minutes come out to the Rv park and have a celebration with Jimmy Wayne. I was very skeptical about doing so, cause I didnt want to get out were they were it was going to rain again. The storm was pretty powerful, but Jimmywas sick and need Emergency C so we set out to find him.  to deliver the much need meds! we drive out and the destruction in that area was unreal, cars were overturned blew houses off their  foundation. But Lauren really wanted to find Jimmy so we continued on.
We finally get out there, and it is like a ghost town, about then the security guard drives up and asks us what we are doing? I say and point to the meetmehalfway sign. Have you seen this man?  hadn't seen but heard, about Jimmy Wayne. So we wait.... and wait ..... and hang out remeber, hes suppose to walk in at dawn.




   and we wait.......



and waited........

and waited.......
about 4 and a half hours go by

here comes Rob driving the pilot car- Barrelboy and the Rv.

Little did we know at the time he also broke his ankle bone to his foot
The State Trooper guiding Jimmy down the hill.


This is Jimmy walking down the 6% grade like this
when he broke his foot.

Being the gracious host that he is still came out in pain and talked to everyone thanking them for comming out
to show their support.
