Spoking Up

Hi to everybody.
Today is Saturday 28th and I’m taking a day off at a campground on Dauphin
Island, Alabama.
My luck has held with the weather. It seems to rain everyday around here
but somehow I have managed to avoid it while riding. But, I have had
several days with headwinds, sometimes very strong, which makes the riding
much harder.
I have been on some of the most deserted roads that I’ve ever ridden on
and I am getting to see parts of the country that most people never see.
The towns are all small and the people are like people from small towns
everywhere: friendly, concerned and wanting to help. Southern hospitality
is alive and well.
I have met several people in the last few days who are doing bike tours
and it’s always nice to know that there are other people out there doing
what I’m doing. Tomorrow I will take the ferry off the island and begin
the trip across the panhandle of Florida.
Your comments and words of encouragement mean so much to me: thank you all.
Down the road I go…
