Whew.
Exhausted.
82.3 miles today.
Rained all day except for the last 10 miles....
Wind all day....
Both rain and wind were 'manageable' ( compared to the last two days )...
Enough about the weather....
Except this.....
Tomorrow there are tornado warnings nearby.
Frankly...I'm too tired to even think about that right now!
The ride was really beautiful today....lots of green pastures, rolling hills, beautiful farm houses, lots of 'friendly' farm animals and wild-life. For the most part...it's just such peaceful and carefree riding.... Except for when the occasional big barking dog comes out to chase us... (that's a pretty tense scary feeling-- you have to really yell your guts out and try to scare the dog into submission before he scares you into a ditch!)
The first photo is when we stopped to feed the horses some of our apples and granola bars....the second photo is taken just a couple of miles from our final stop today....Thats the Missippi River in 'Little Falls' , Minn.
Tomorrow will be an 'easy day'..... A mere 57 miles. Never thought I'd say this but.....hopefully we're being chased by dogs and not tornados !
Where's the story of the happenings today?
ReplyDeleteToo tired to write? Goood! take it easy and
take a nap so you'll be ready for tomorrow.
Have fun, be careful.
Mommie dearest.....
JJ!! :)
ReplyDeleteI know you're having such an awesome time on your trek across America, but it sure would've been great having you here in sunny Socal celebrating LB Pride with us!
Be safe...stay out of the way of those nasty tornadoes...and blog baby blog so we can keep up with your amazing adventures! xoxoxo Marty
Well if you remember correctly, The Wicked Witch of the West cycled her big clunker easily and effortlessly through the twister so it may be a blessing tomorrow. Bet you'll soon be saying - "There's no place like home." Great pix! The ssippi looks like it's 'bout to burst it's banks; not surprising with all that rain. We once fed a donkey chocolate chip cookies on the road side in the Greek island of Mykonos - from a rental car!
ReplyDeletejennette, love taking this journey with you.It is exciting without the exhausting. The country side is magnificate. I once rode through napa and sonoma . That was a hilly and foggy adventure. The wineries were our saving grace and of course the hotel. Love your summary of the day. You write like a story. Keep going girl...unless you need the escort van..We all partied in Long Beach at the Parade Sunday. Im sure Sandy will post a comprising photo. Argggghghhh?
