TOTAL MILES BIKE: 2,643 (370 left)
From the Stoker: We headed out this morning about 8:30 with cloudy skies, cool, and a threat of rain. By noon it was partly sunny but still in the low 70's and no rain until we had arrived at the campground. The Good Lord has not been too helpful in the headwind category but has blessed us with very good weather for the past 54 days of biking. I think we mentioned before how we have had only 4 days of bad weather that prevented us from biking.
We biked on US 90 for 72 miles from Mossey Head to Mariana. Occasional rolling hills and, of course, a headwind that we try very hard to ignore.
I sent a picture yesterday of Carol and her roommate Nancy and forgot to mention what a great 2 days rest we had at Nancy's house in Milton. They fed us like kings and treated us to some great wine. We really needed the time off from biking and that was a great place to rest. Thank you both.

You are truly on the 'home stretch' aren't you? Loved the photos of those 'fancy' homes and the oil rig out in the water - very interesting. How nice for you to get a couple of rest days at Carol and Nancy's house - a well-earned rest for the final push! Stay safe and we are thinking of you every day.
