Today was rather uneventful from a scenery standpoint. It is just corn field after corn field, with a few soybean fields thrown in. We had one section that went on isolated county roads which was nice. It was nice to get away from the traffic. It was around 90 degrees again today and we had a 90+ mile day with a headwind for part of the day.
This has been a tough week with the long miles and hot days. The heat really takes a toll on you in the afternoon. I usually stop twice a day at a convenience store to get a Gatorade to keep my going.
We are camped on the lawn of York College, a small Christian College. Julie and I had stopped to camp a night in this town many years ago on the way out west on a family vacation. I think I biked past the Presbyterian Church we had gone to on that Sunday a.m. Many good memories come back from that family vacation, when we rented a motor home for 3 weeks and toured the Rockies with the four sons as they were young boys. One memory I cherish is of Shawn going down into the Cody, WY rodeo arena to participate in a kids event to chase down young calves and pull off a ribbon from one calf’s tail. Wouldn’t you know that Shawn with his speed was the one to run down the calf and pull off the ribbon and win an award. Great memories.
Love to all, P & J.
