Need I say more?

As I've said before, the best view of the entire trip.  It's great to be back home again!!!!  I made it back the day before our 39th wedding anniversary.  Lisa was recording my approach and landing while eating an apple.  (There's that finger at the bottom of the pic again)

Total miles today:  81.2

Day 9: 8/1/24: Dover to Williamsport, TN

I slept extremely well last night in spite of the heat.  The route and heat yesterday must have taken more out of me than I thought.  I went to sleep a little after 7 p.m. and woke up at about 3:00 a.m.  I woke up a few times during the night to get rid of some of those liters of water I consumed yesterday, but was able to immediately go back to sleep.  I pulled out of the campground about 4:00 a.m.

Today did not seem as hot as it was yesterday.  It might have been that I had more shade today than yesterday which helps a lot.  Also, it seemed to be a little bit more breezy today which also kept me a little cooler.

You know you're on a good portion of a route when you cross a bridge that looks like this...


...and the road looks like this.


I'm camping tonight, my last night on the road this trip, at the Natchez Trace.

Total miles today: 95.2
