We road through two state parks today. It was a great ride but got a little hilly. Ran into some other cyclists today. They had started in San Diego and were headed to their home in the Florida Keys. Pretty cool.

TEXAS!!! Another new state for both of us.
Tonight, we are staying in a church of all places! A great thanks to Jim for getting us all set up here. We feasted like kings with the help of their kitchen and a well stocked grocery store in town.
Get to share this space with another biker who is doing a coast to coast ride. Always enjoyable to talk shop for a night.
Bunkie LA to Ville Platte LA – 34.7 Miles
This was meant to be a short day to camp in Chicot State Park.
We made it early, then when we called ahead to our next campground,we found out they’d be closed, which meant our next day was going to be big. On top of that our water boiler kicked it and all the food we had needed hot water.
So, instead we pushed on and are in a hotel, no-cheese pizza and less miles for tomorrow.
