Day 117: Meaher State Park (another rest day)

Thursday Oct 23, 2014, 6 miles (10 km) - Total so far: 3,889 miles (6,259 km)

Another rest day at Meaher State Park. With most of our work and errands done we got to have fun today. Dan and I got up and rode over to Starbucks. We got to ride on the first part of our route out of town we will use tomorrow.

This is Felicia who talked to us as we were leaving
Starbucks. She really liked our bikes and wished us well
on the rest of our trip.
We talked to a lot of people there and Dan handed out quite a few cards. It had been pretty cool going over but was much nicer on the way back to camp.

Later in the morning Bill, Dana, Catherine and I went on a boat tour of the bay courtesy of Five Rivers Delta Safaris. Justin was our boat driver and Valerie gave us the details on the plants and animals we saw along the way. She was very interested in our trip and asked a lot of questions about it. It was a very good trip with about 10 of us on the tour.

The others went out to lunch and to do some more touring around while I stayed in camp with Dan. He was working on his trike and I worked on the computer. One of our neighbors, a woman named Pat, came by and talked for quite a while with Dan about the trikes. She even made a donation to us before driving on.

It's been nice being here and resting but I think everyone is excited to be heading down south to the actual gulf area. We've seen pictures of the white sand beaches down there and are looking forward to that.
