6-14 Sunday

Berea KY to Old Kentucky homestead campground in Bardstown - 94.35 miles

Fire Houses and churches are definitely the way to go. Stayed at the city of Berea firehouse where Don and I woke everyone up with a blast of the siren's from the ladder truck. Those guys had a great sense of humor.

We were only scheduled for about 65 miles on the day, but encountered an unfortunate set back in that Lincoln Homestead no longer does camping, and the next closest campsite was either 18 miles off the route or another 30 miles down route. So in all our glory we decided to go for it which put us at 94.5 miles on the day, almost a century. As we started into the last 30 miles the weather soon turned ominous... nothing out of the norm for this trip anyway.

After the skies cleared we ran into a couple east bound riders. The left real early, April 15th. It was incredible to see them, 2 months into the trip, and excited that their journey would soon be over in 2 weeks. But they still had the 2 weeks left that we just went through. Not a fun way to end such a long journey if you ask me, ha.
