No wifi today.
Taking a break at the 50 mile mark of the 92 mile ride.
It was a 90s day; 92 miles down Hwy 90, with the temp hitting 92, and the humidity in the 90s. Fortunately, the roads were good, the shoulder wide, and the winds sometimes not head on. But it was still tiring.
This park at which we are staying was closed because of flooding until last Saturday. One of the negative results is the proliferation of mosquitos, which are eating us alive! This is the first time the bug spray has been needed, and man, is it needed!
As I type this, it's 7:40 and dark, and all are inside their tents, driven there by the bugs. Unfortunately, it's still very hot and humid, there's no breeze, and my tent is a sauna. The fly is on because of the threat of overnight rain, but the flaps are open for ventilation. I'm dripping wet, and don't know how I'm going to sleep. Could be a long night.
It turns out there is still room on the Trans-Am ride I mentioned earlier. And, if I wish, I can get a ride with Nicole and the van and trailer up to Williamsport, Virginia, and on May 18, begin the ride to Florence, Oregon, arriving some time in August.
Just kidding, Janet.
The route took us through a small town that has some beautiful heritage homes, most of which had plaques attached indicating their status. The street they were on circled a small lake, making for a picturesque setting.
Tomorrow we head to Tallahassee and a rest day on Wednesday.
