Had I not been told that it was okay, I’m not really sure that I would have crossed that fence and biked that road.

This was a wider part of the road, but you can get a view of some rough spots. Not nearly the worst part.

Narrow part of the road. Looks like this thing has been closed off for a while.

Just as the rain started

During a break in the rain. It was really pretty.

Dang! Home of NASCAR champion Dale Jarrett! Now I’m excited.

morning on the water

so good

this was crazy. this creek ran for a while on both sides of the road. it looked like turf, like you could just run out onto it. must be some kind of algae. I threw a stick in, the algae parted briefly but quickly covered up any trace of the penetration

this is America right here: fields of corn, blue sky, white clouds

America

even better America

the second state border crossing

damn these things. it has made me a bit weary of camping in the trees for a bit. blood suckers.
