Day 39. 54 miles.

We found a beautiful lake in a state park in the early morning, and decided to spend the day swimming instead of riding. I caught some fish with my bare hands by baiting them with pieces of macaroni, but the fish survived the traumatizing ordeal because I am not a meat eater in any way. I released my few fish immediately.

We started riding again at 3pm, and allowed ourselves a short day to celebrate reaching 2,000 miles on our journey.
