We rode a short distance from the park to Lawrenceburg, where we had a nice breakfast at 40 Square restaurant on the town square. It had a variety of decorations ranging from a bicycle guy (looks like ET) purchased in Africa, photos of numerous singers and actors, and a chicken coop (pics below).
Lawrenceburg is David Crockett's hometown and there are reminders of that around town (pics below - top one is on the side of a downtown building).
It has a quaint, nice town square (pics below). As you can see in one of the pics, there is currently a lot of street and sidewalk construction around the square.
It was very foggy for several miles before the sun broke through. Bob and I rode together for several miles and then came to a decision time. The route I developed took us off U.S. Hwy 64 onto back roads. When it comes to hills, back roads typically have steeper climbs than U.S. highways. Highway 64 had a nice, wide shoulder on it, so Bob decided to continue riding on it, and I chose to take the back roads. So we split for several miles, and agreed to join back up at a Hwy 64 creek crossing.
Back at home, Lisa had been having a low grade fever since yesterday afternoon, and decided to be tested for COVID-19 today at 11 a.m. She called me and told me she tested positive for Covid, but she didn't want me to come home and be around her. She is in quarantine for 10 days. We have our first grandchild due in Kansas possibly next week and at least one of us wants to be able to go to Kansas to help the new parents any way we can.
Bob and I were heading to a campground in Winchester for the night, and we would split up and head home tomorrow. I decided to change my plans and head home today to be close in case Lisa needed me. Then Bob changed his plans and his wife drove to Winchester and picked him up and took him home. So we both made it safely home today.
Total miles today: 104.1
Total miles this trip: 467.8
