We got an early start today waking up at 6:20am and hitting the road around 7:30am full of dried fruit, nuts, and oatmeal. Thanks again Rex and Pam for your generosity and hospitality! We are so grateful.
Our goal of 50 miles was achieved by 2pm and both Ryan and I were SO ready to be at our campsite in Chehaw Park near Albany, GA.
My knees are pretty angry with me right now, but in around 120 more miles we will be back with Ryan’s family for rest time and Thanksgiving feasting!
After setting up our tent, we road five miles to “Rice Bowl,” a Chinese buffet recommended to us by the campground attendants. I made five trips to the buffet and loved every gruelingly earned bite! It’s weird to feel the little bit of fat on my tummy already shrinking down after just a few days of work.
We were there for over around three hours waiting out some heavy rain that struck during our meal and were thankful for the time to let our food settle before the five mile ride back to camp.
Tonight was another shower and grape stomp style washing of our clothes. Right now I’m sitting Indian style on the dryer they’ve got here reflecting on the day and getting a nice massage on my sore body.
Route info for interested readers:
We picked up our route towards Ashburn on Highway 107 and rode from there to Highway 32 E. This was a long 30ish mile stretch without any gas stations. We turned onto the 91 S towards Albany and road about 8 miles into Chehaw Park to camp for $15 in a tent spot with showers and laundry machines available.
There and Back Again
