Day 30 - North Carolina

We are in a new state tonight. We have really been traveling the miles these last few days. We did about 78 again today and are staying in a state park just across the state border. Riding
does seem to be getting better because of the terrain. It is pretty flat now, but the miles still get to the hands and the hind end after riding that far. It sure was a nice day today.

We had a fun experience for lunch today. We were in this small.town in Vermont and pulled over to ask this man if there were.any restaurants in town. He said there weren't but said to go to the grade school cafeteria and have some lunch. We kind of looked like, "No Way" and he said that people do it all the time so we (me and Tim and Nancy) decided to do it. The kids were wondering who we were and the head master (principal) came up to me and asked if I went to BYU. I was wearing me BYU shirt. He turned out to be a Mormon who attended BYU as well. It was a fun experience and I had a nice piece of lunch room pizza. As we left, the kids left as well and they were asking us all sorts of questions about the bikes and the trip and all. You could just see their minds working about the adventure that they might have someday.

We will be in Kitty Hawk, NC tomorrow. We have another big day to ride (85 miles), but will have the following day as a rest day. We will be riding the outer banks for the next few days. The weather was beautiful today. Not real hot and the sun was shining most of the day.  Just a nice day to ride.

I hope this blog will post. The reception here is terrible, so I can't send any pictures. Goodnight all.
