Not posted Thursday night due to power outage due to storm-
Spirits are very high today after completing over 100 miles
of ride from Americus GA to Lanett AL, just over the Georgia state line. For a
few it was their first century, and for a few, incomplete. There comes a point
for almost everyone who commits to a century under such conditions of heat and
headwind that they consider that perhaps it’s not in them to give, and it is
the wise decision.
We arrived at the Lanett recreational center for showers, a
great dinner, and COTS! Almost real beds! Usually we sleep on the floor with
camping mats which are adequate, but if on carpeted floor they are better, and
we always have extra so I use two. We will be in Lanett for two nights so maybe
I can catch up on some sleep. Breakfast tomorrow is at 8 and we start working
on three separate homes at 9.
Everywhere we go we are treated as celebrities. It is very
humbling. Folks want to share the best of their hometowns and homes with us and
I really wish I had the time to enjoy it more, but this isn’t a leisurely tour.
I am falling in love with every place we visit, and my bucket list keeps
getting longer, for I want to come back to these towns and these people to get
to know them better.
