Sunday, May 24 - Getting Ready for Endurance - Theme Song

Auntie Kim thinks this is a good Theme Song for the Endurance Trial Teams: 

You've Got a Friend In Me Lyrics
by  Randy Newman

You've got a friend in me 
You've got a friend in me 
When the road looks rough ahead 
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed 
You just remember what your old pal said 
Boy, you've got a friend in me 
Yeah, you've got a friend in me 

You've got a friend in me 
You've got a friend in me 
If you got troubles 
I got them too 
There isn't anything 
I wouldn't do for you 
We stick together, we can see it through 
Cause you've got a friend in me 
Yeah, you've got a friend in me 

Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am 
Bigger and stronger too 
Maybe 
But none of them 
Will ever love you 
The way I do 
It's me and you, boy 

And as the years go by, 
Our friendship will never die 
You're gonna see it's our destiny 
You've got a friend in me 
You've got a friend in me 
Yea You've got a friend in me.

Map of the trail.
Can I drive a car on the trail?
A rainy start for the day.

Auntie Kim's Girls, Coco & Roxie, are her photo assistants.
