1000 miles the big hills and virginia!

1000 miles and the big hills. We crossed one of the steepest sections of the mountains today (according to the map). We pedaled through little valleys and it was really nice.

We kept leap frogging wendy and sam(a couple from PA we have been traveling near). After an afternoon deluge we decided that the mom's idea to stay at the breaks motel was great.

We sat out some storms at the local barbeque pit yum and are now sitting at the laundromat. We are in virginia now!

Not good enough service to post pictures....will update tomorrow!

Free Camping...woo!

Made it to hindman KY. There were a few really long steep climbs at the beginning of the day today, but they were really beautiful.

We then rode on this really awful big road with no shade. The last 12 miles were mostly shaded and down hill.

We had heard the guy in the historic society would let you camp in his yard...but also heard he was crazy! so the mom found the best freee spot at the settlement school. We are hanging out in the shade under a huge tree ...it eveb protected us from the afternoon rainfall. Tomorrow we will ride out of KY into virginia! wooo breaks interstate park.
