After a late start, the ride was windy but flat. The damage from yesterday evenings storms was apparent. Broken limbs and green leaves adorned the roads while sheet metal from barns flapped in the wind.
Met Arabel, my aunt, and two of her friends for lunch. I was a bit worried about actually finding a place to eat so far out here in the boonies, but our paths crossed at a local bbq place. Was really great seeing her so far out here, especially when miserable weather makes the day such a daunting task.
The man at the entrance to tonight's campgrounds told me about the hundreds of cyclists who came through here in 1976. Bikers came from around the world when adventure cycling celebrated the 200th anniversary of the United States and first released the maps I am using today.
Glad you got to see some familiar faces today! Love the tent :) Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteHomey-rotisserie! You look all "i'm leaving this shit behind" in that picture. Tread carefully through those boonies man. "What's that...the wind!"
