Miles Today: 102. Total Miles: 2,592. Miles Remaining: 425
Conditions: Dry, sunny, favorable wind. Terrain: Flat
Time on the Road: 7 hrs

Another excellent day for biking. The scenery was mostly forests and green fields. But it was the signs along the road that caught our attention.



No Need for a "Do Not Swim in Creek" Sign

How Do You Fiddle Worms?

Is This Conducted Like a Blood Pressure Clinic?

Our lunch break was spent in the town of DeFuniak Springs where Don joined the Old Men of the city at "The Opinion Place". Apparently this is the place for the senior men to meet to sort out the world's problems.

Opinions - Everyone Has One

The weather report was favorable and it seemed a good night to pitch our tent. We located Falling Springs State Park near Chipley. Penny found a roadside oyster bar and decided our appetizer that night would be raw oysters.

You Expect me to eat Raw Oysters? Not done in Minnesota!

We had barely completed dinner when a rumble of thunder warned us that the weather forecasts was inaccurate. We dived into the tent at 6PM and sat out the rain and lightning for the remainder of the night.

Yours on the Road,

Don and Penny
