Day 24. 42 miles.

We checked maps, cleaned our chains, and ate lunch with Carolyn. We waited for the hot part of the day to pass.

More fields. More flats. More sun.



Railroad tracks lined the left side of 6 West. The drone of trains coming and going filled the hours. The wind pushed against us. Piper found a large screw lodged into his rear tire, and we stopped to patch the tube underneath.

We slept in a motorcycle couple's backyard, with their trained army of attack mosquitoes.
