Day 8: 3/27/22: Meriwether Lewis Campground to Home

 It was downright cold when we woke up this morning, but fortunately the wind wasn't bad.  I delayed our start because I could not find my glasses after I had packed my sleeping gear.  That meant I had to unpack everything and pack it back up to make sure I didn't accidentally pack my glasses.  This turned up no glasses.  I had pretty much given up on finding them, when Bob came over with them. He found them laying underneath our picnic table.  It was very windy when we arrived at camp yesterday and things were getting blown around.  My glasses must have been on the table and got blown off.  I was so tired and cold I was just wanting to get in my sleeping bag yesterday afternoon and did not do my normal routine that would have made me realize I didn't have them.

Last night, there were several young adults at the campsite across the road from us. They were talking loudly.  Scott told me and Bob this morning that these young adults' conversations woke him up from a deep sleep. Thinking that it was middle of the night, he thought to himself that he hoped they would not be that loud all night.  He then looked at his clock and it was only 8:30 p.m. :)

Scott and I rode with Bob for about 26 miles today.  We then separated, with Bob heading east toward Chattanooga and Scott and I heading south toward Athens.

Some views from our ride today.





Strange yard art...


Woohoo!!!  We're finally made it to the correct State and County...
