Miles Today: 42

Miles Total: 265

Today was a good riding day. Not too hot and for the most part not too windy. I ran into a couple of wicked cross winds, but they were brief. My goal today was to make it to Madison-ish and I did.

Nothing other than farmers riding by on tractors and a train engineer who tooted the horn when I waved.

I was also planning on staying in a campground, but the thought of a hotel with a nice bed, AC and shower won out. I’m at the Madison Best Western Plus just off I-10. I had to go about 6 miles out of the way to find a restaurant and the hotel was closer than the campground.

 

Here’s the pix from today:

These are all from a farm with tons of wildflowers along the fences. Couldn’t decide on which one to post, so I posted them all.

 

I have a little tripod and a camera app on my iPhone that lets me take photos remotely by whistling or clapping. The sound triggers the shutter. I liked the looks of this old farm with the rusty equipment, so I stopped to take a shot with me in it. I was whistling and clapping when …

 

this guy came running up to say hi.He was very friendly until I tried to pet him. Nothing like a big ol’ set of horse choppers to get you to pull your hand back quickly.

 

And just like that …

He disappeared.

 

 

Far out dude, I’m just trying to find myself! Hey, enough with the little jokes.

 

Me and Heyoka being extravagant instead of camping. Here’s something you don’t see right out your hotel door every day, a two-legged cow. Nice room, eh?
