This was our last hotel for quite a while as I understand. I rode with John who goes by Wendell for quite a while today. The entrance to the 2 bike trails were not obvious to me and I didn't try much to find the second. 

  Anyway, it was a nice ride. A little more climbing, not much wind. Some nice trails once I was on them.  All is well with the bike so far. Yesterday's windy ride was a strain on my knees. They feel a little crunchy.

  Some vegetarian cyclists have been hosting groups for many years and we ended up there tonight.  It was a delicious veggy meal! Awesome food! 

  They are off in the woods and there were a good number of birds around.

This is our first night of camping and it is going to be cool, though even cooler weather is predicted in a few days.
