Day 99 - Fostoria, OH to Bluffton, OH

Today was so much better than yesterday!   The roads were very good for cycling, the temperature was perfect and the headwinds were light to moderate.  Even a few sprinkles of rain didn't spoil our pleasure in the ride.  I even think it's good to have a hard day like yesterday once in a while to give you an appreciation for the good days.

I didn't take many pictures today.  Corn, beans, farms, country roads - the same, but not boring for us.  I am getting a little bored with posting the same things over and over though.  I wish I had something new and different to share.

Roads like this are an invitation to cyclists.

Keith A. SpanglerYou are so, so right about having not as good of days makes better days ahead. Guys, I didn’t tell you, but my mom passed away Aug. 6. I miss her, but she is a better place and now I can have peace as I travel. I would have been in Canada during her passing, if not for COVID. You guys keep posting, we aren’t bored!

Jeanna & Kerry SmithTo Keith A. SpanglerWe're sorry to hear about your mom, Keith. It is so hard to lose a parent. I remember worrying about my mom going while we were away and I understand what you mean by peace as you travel. Enjoy your upcoming trip.

We took a short detour through Van Buren State Park.

We saw this man plowing a field covered with large yellow vegetables.  Kerry correctly identified cucumbers.  There were so many, it seemed that he was plowing under the whole crop, not just the unharvested ones.

One of our stops was in the town of McComb.  The panther is the McComb High School mascot.

Back on the road, we saw a big field of ripening pumpkins.

Some of these look about ready for Halloween.

The obligatory daily barn.  

Whatever is stored in here is not very protected from the weather!

And the last picture from today - some big cows.  It's hard to see the scale in this photo, but these are some really tall cows!
