We awoke to a drizzling rain this AM but our energy and excitement were not thwarted. We donned our rain jackets, turned on our blinky taillights and started peddling over the next hill...and the next hill...and the next hill! 25 miles later we stopped for lunch, ice cream, groceries, and the crowning moment - our first laundry stop of the trip in a little town called Sherburne. So now at least there is the subtlest suggestion of smelling human. Although the 18 miles we rode after the laundry stop negated a fair amount of the freshness. The cows in the pasture below us contribute their own sense of freshness!
Our neighbors however have nothing much to say about our smell, or us in general. We have found yet another cemetery to camp in; this one with a beautiful view. Very pastoral. Hint: when tenting in a cemetery look for the oldest section...let's say 1800's...they get fewer visitors!
We are still loving the trip!!! Love the fox in the field. Love the deer by the stream. Love the raccoon by the road. Love the rabbits, squirrels, and even the little unidentified critter that kept us wondering all last night. We love it all!

ReplyDeleteGreat stuff, I'm enjoying the ride through you folks.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
OK, this is funny based on your blog entry above: the word I had to type in to post my last comment was, no joke, smelus.
ReplyDeleteWonder what the next one will be?
You love the raccoon by the road? Was is alive? I will remember that tip the next time I camp in a cemetery.
