From the Stoker: What a beautiful sunny, cool morning for a bike ride. After we said good bye to the couple from Sweden, we were on our way. Only 50 miles today from St. Francisville to Eastely, Louisiana. The next campground looks like about 80 miles from this one so we were forced to stop.
We crossed the Mississippi River yesterday and only biked 5 miles to the campground. When we started this morning, we were amazed at how different this side of the river is from the other side. Rolling hills, beautiful woods sometimes making a canopy over the road, old plantation homes, azaleas that don't end, and much better roads. The other side was flat, more barren, and so much water everywhere. It was like we were in another state.
Shortly after we set up the camper, Daine and Bill, a couple wenmet a couple daysd ago on the road, came into the campground. After they set up their tent, they joined us for dinner and an evening of visiting. It's so much fun to share stories and find out what motivates others to take this bike trip.
