Turtle crossing

Don't they know they get run over on the road. So far we have removed atleast 2 dozen from certain death!

Eating frog legs in Tennessee!

Everyone has been very biker friendly

Stayed in Fall Hollow, Tennessee. Beautiful B&B and campground run by a great couple, Kathy and Bill!

Made it to Carbondale! The rest days feel great!

Arrived at our friend Pam's house. It's nice to be back in familiar territory. After 2.5 weeks of cycling we weighed ourselves. The results are as follows: Scott -5, Kelly -0. Trailer weight: Scott's - 55, Kelly's - 70. Jeez, new goal, to find a box to send home some of our junk!

In illinois

You know you are on bike tour when you start viewing all food items as vehicles to transport peanut butter or easy cheese to your mouth! We have ridden over 700 miles and today we will be arriving in Kelly's old stomping grounds spending a couple days off the bikes and with friends in So Illinois.

The current state of affairs!!!

Here we are in Tennessee, been here for 3 days. Today we were chased by many dogs as we traveled from Centerville to Waverly. It was beautiful but very hot. It got up to 98 degrees today, made it about 40 miles. Luckily we were on the road by 6:45, tomorrow we are going to try to make it on the road by 5:30 to beat the heat!!
