It was hot today - stayed around 90 all afternoon. We started the day off in a light fog which kept the temperature down for most of the morning. It also made for beautiful scenes in the forests we were riding through.

Today we did a lot of preparation to begin riding again tomorrow morning. We cleaned the trailer, stocked up on groceries, and got some laundry done. We worked in time for swimming and playing as well.

Today we began a four day rest from riding the bikes. I couldn't tell you about this break earlier because Kevin was surprising his family by showing up to their son's graduation from Marine basic training.

Riding the Mississippi!

We made today a short day - riding out of Louisiana and ending up near Poplarville, Mississippi for a total of 46 miles. Our legs were getting tired and my family is flying into New Orleans tomorrow, so we thought we'd better get ourselves and the trailer cleaned up a bit.
