June 30
Christiansburg, VA to Wytheville, VA
59 miles
No, we didn’t get arrested for vagrancy. Wytheville actually permits cyclists to camp in their quiet little downtown park. Quite sweet, really, and you can’t beat the price. Another hard riding day, this one made easier by the 15-cent Flavor-Ice popsicles and bubbly water at a tiny country store. High point: steak (!) at the Log House Restaurant. Exhausted and tummies full, we were asleep by 7:59 pm.
Glad to hear from you two via telephone a few minutes ago. Narrow roads, traffic and dogs chasing you seem to be the challenges of the day.
ReplyDeleteBe safe tomorrow since there will be lots of revelers out and about on Independence Day.
Take time to watch some local fireworks and above all, have fun.
Love,

Finally! Back in the blog seat.
ReplyDeleteHey I ate beef jerky stew tonight (a story to be told later) and thought of you!! it wasn't bad - some lentils and other assorted beans. Try it!
It could become your staple - just like steak!
Going to Port Townsend tomorrow so might not be able to check in for a couple of days.
Take care!
XOXO
