It stormed pretty much all night last night. The tent pad we were on was crushed, hard packed gravel. Since so much rainfall came in short periods of time, pools of water formed under our tents. We both must have some pin holes in our tent floor because we both woke up to very wet floors.
Weather-wise, today was a good ride. We stayed mostly dry, and had only a couple of short sprinkles of rain.
It was another good day of biking on primarily low trafficked roads. We rode a few miles on the Natchez Trace Parkway. Pic of Bob on the Parkway below.
During a grocery store stop in Hohenwald, I took my tent out of its stuff sack, partially set it up, and spread out the rainfly and ground sheet on the parking lot so they could dry. The sun was out and the pavement was warm so they all dried quickly and I repacked them. Then, as I was entering the grocery store to buy some items, a store employee was coming out and mentioned to me that someone came inside the store and reported a person was setting up a tent in their parking lot. I told him it was me and I was just allowing it to dry. He stated he figured that was what was happening as he had just seen Bob in the store. We both got a good chuckle over this.
We made it to David Crockett State Park. This is the only state park during this trip that I have not camped at on a previous bicycle trip.
Total miles today: 65.6
