Here is a quick update (not too quick, we are on dial up again).
I was able to coax a few to post their thoughts. Thanks again for all the well wishers, I am trying to pass on messages to all as I receive them on the BlackBerry. Several times today as we crested a hill, the BlackBerry started singing - New Mail.
Everybody is enjoying their trip, though James J. is fighting back pain. He plans to SAG tomorrow and give his back a rest. That will also allow Nancy, Chuck, & Jerry to ride all day if they choose. Clay is still the SAGmaster. What's for lunch Clay? Today's lunch was awesome! You don't know how good a sandwich and pasta salad taste until eating them after riding 30 or 40 miles in hot, hilly terrain. You would think we would be dropping the pounds like crazy, but the consensus is that everybody is packing them on. Eat to ride and ride to eat is my motto.
We cut off a few miles today and stopped at Witch Dance historic site. According to the marker, the area was frequented by...well read for yourself.
You should be able to click the picture to open a larger version for reading. I have to wonder, given the weird encounters with the locals in Houston if there is not some truth or lingering Salemesque type suspicion around here. The diners at Moore's Restaurant had "you ain't from round here" look in their eye. Same thing at the gas station. It had a whole horror movie feel to it, like we needed to get inside before dark...we did. (Moore's was delicious. What do you eat after riding 63 miles? 2 bowls of salad, 16oz ribeye-rare, stuffed potato, Texas toast, cookies and cream ice cream.)We will pick back up at Witch Dance tomorrow for about a 73 mile day through Jeff Busby, French Camp, and ending in Kociusko.
Got to go, long day tomorrow, must sleep. I'll leave you with a pic from the day.
