The crows (I think they are following us) woke us up early, so we got up for breakfast. Since the weather was perfect (finally no rain), we could enjoy a leisurely breakfast of pancakes and eggs under the towering pines. The squirrels stayed close, but didn’t beg.
When we drove to the campground yesterday, our little 4-cylender Hyundai struggled with some of the steep climbs. We mentioned that this would be a tough ride on the bikes. Well, we really wanted to get some more riding in, so we ventured on a short ride from the campground to the hotel and back. It was only 3 miles, but one of the toughest climbs we’ve encountered. One stretch was ¾ of a mile with a 5 percent grade. We both made it (I wasn’t going to give up) and so did our lungs! It was a great ride, through beautiful scenery.
Packing up in dry weather is a lot faster so we were on the road in good time for a very long drive today to the town of Fifty-Six, Ark., in the Ozark National Forest. I think we will put on almost 500 miles. This will be our last night of camping—I wish we had another day!
