Day 6: 5/26/19: TN Hwy 7 to Land Between the Lakes, KY



Below is a pic of my shadow.



Yesterday, all I had to eat was breakfast, a leftover egg and bacon biscuit for lunch, and a pop tart and banana for supper, so I was pretty hungry this morning.  I had to ride 22 miles for breakfast. I picked Shoneys in Dickson for their breakfast bar.   Below is a pic of 1 of 3 plates of food I ate there. 




Today took me through the small towns of Dickson, Erin, and Dover. I rode about 1.5 miles on the paved pedestrian path in Erin (pics below).




In Dover, I went to the Donelson National Battlefield and the Surrender House (pics below).






It was hot again today as indicated in the below photo, but I did not need that to know it was hot.

This is my solar set up on my bike. It is not the fastest charge, but it is doing a good job keeping a charge on my phone during the day. It's nice not to have to sit around waiting for my phone to charge. So far, I have not had access to electrical outlets at night.



I made it to The Land Between the Lakes and camped in woods there. As much poison ivy as I have seen in the woods in my last 2 camping spots, I'm surprised I don't have it all over me. I guess time will tell.

Kentucky at last


It rained just a little when I was close to my campsite. First rain of the trip, but not a soaker.

A couple of pics from today's scenery.



Total miles today: 102.9
