We had some bad neighbors at the campground last night that ignored park quite hours. They were still having loud conversations outside past 11:00 p.m. I'm not sure when they finally went inside and I was able to go to sleep.
Our route today was full of adventure. We traveled a few miles on a gravel road which eventually led to a creek. The creek water was pristine, very clear and cool. The kind of creek you would really want to play in on a hot day. We had to fiord the creek, again having to lift the front of the bike or remove panniers to keep them from being partially submerged (pics below).
The group consisted if about 12 wagons with folks from different states. They told us they started in Santa Fe. I'm sure the guy could tell from our reaction that we thought Santa Fe, NM, because he quickly told us Santa Fe, TN. They were traveling about 100 miles in 4 days. They usually travel to Tammy Wynette's place, but couldn't go there this year due to flooding.
A short distance after seeing the covered wagons, we came to a creek crossing where the bridge was closed. We were able to push our bikes over the dirt mounds blocking the bridge and continue on our route (pics below).
The rest of the ride today involved a lot of steep ups and downs in the rain. We were fortunate that the rain stopped just long enough for us to pitch our tents before it started back up again.
Total miles today: 73.7
