6-17 Wednesday

Falls of Rough, KY to Sebree, KY - 74 miles

Started the day off the right way with an endless buffet at the Rough River Dam State Park lodge.

They definitely lost proffit between Dustin and I, ha. Today we rode through our first 1000 miles. I celebrated with an orange slurpee... It must have been 100 degrees out. I guess the gods decided to give us a break from the endless rain we've been pressing through the last 2 weeks and give us some sunshine. Unfortunatly it was a little too much with temps in the high 90's and killer humidity.

We decided from this day on we wouldn't leave to start the day past 8am because the heat is just too brutal. It was a long and arduous day but we recovered in the bliss of the A/C at the First Baptist Chruch in Sebree, KY. Today was easily top 3 hardest days so far, just miserable. But what a reward this church was, it had it all! A/C, showers, laundry, and an unforgetable Thanksgiving like feast prepared by Violet & Bob that almost put me comatose during dessert... angelfood cake, strawberries, ice cream, and whipped cream... Thanks again, you're so generous! So we weren't exactly roughing it that night.
