Camden to Summerton
This morning we woke up in a bed. Always a good way to start your morning. Today was a short day of only thirty miles so we decided to ride back into Camden to do some grocery shopping and see the town. Around 11:oo we loaded the trailer and started for Poinsett State Park. About half way we stopped for a break and while sitting under a tree looking at the map we saw a town next to interstate 95. I pulled out the computer and found they had 3 hotels. Since it was going the same direction we would be traveling tomorrow we decided to head for it. That’s the good news. The bad news was it was 23 more miles down the road, but today’s road was nothing like yesterdays so we decided to push on. It was really a nice ride with low traffic and mostly shaded roads. We rode through the Manchester National Forest and by an Air Force bombing range. A real difference in land use. It was still a lot of miles today, what with the added downtown tour and the 23 miles to Summerton, but much nicer miles. Today was a good one and tomorrow will be the short day.

Hey Skip and Susan,
ReplyDeleteDrew and I are in Vancouver sitting in a comfy room (drinking a glass of wine) catching up on your trip, funny as usual. You haven't lost your knack for funny story telling. The one about Susan falling off the bike...the image has me laughing like crazy.
Be safe. Have fun!
Mary and Drew
She almost fell again when a grasshopper landed on her while we were going down the road. She almost dumped me too!
