Grand Bay, Alabama to Perkinston, Mississippi
? miles
Got a call from Bob tonight. He is in Perkinston, MS.
He said this morning when he took off, he saw an eagle. I told him that was a good luck sign. Bob said somehow he got off the route and lost about 15 miles. It was a very unpopulated area, no small towns, or gas stations, no anything. He almost ran out of water. He carries 4 bottles. He does like the Thermos bottles I finally convinced him to get. On a hot day, cold water is so much better than drinking warm water, but these bottles do hold a little less than a regular bike water bottle.
He also ran into another cyclist that we met earlier in our ride who is going the same way. Randy and Bob spent some time riding together, then separated.
Bob got caught in another sudden storm. Just when he thought he couldn’t ride much further, he came across an RV park not on the map. He rolled in and it had hot showers, laundry, and a place under an awning where he put up his tent. He is dry and well fed.
He also said there was a gaggle of geese there. He started the day with eagles and ended with geese. Gotta be a good sign. He’s in good spirits and will be back on the road again tomorrow.
We had suspected that this might happen while you were on the road, Chuck. Shadow being old and in poor health. My sympathy to you and Cheryl as you go through these days.
Bob,
It’s fun, but it is lonely! It is nice that you are aiming for your son’s in Texas. We are thinking of you and cheering you on. May you enjoy the rains and may the wind be at your back.
