Big A Mountain

Jackie and I left this morning from Breaks, VA and immediately began pedaling uphill. This was to be a common theme of the day. It was overcast and cool but very humid.

After about 25 miles we reached the base of the Big A Mountain. We agreed that this must have stood for Big A** Mountain. The climb was long but beautiful. We snapped some pictures at the top before beginning our short descent, after which we climbed some more.

The mom had gone ahead and found us lodging at another church bike hostel. Not as fantastic as the one in Sebree, but great nonetheless. We cooked dinner in the kitchen and enjoyed the air-conditioning. Although we could sleep inside, we decided it would be best to camp outside since there will probably be church tomorrow.

How is this for irony: we are in the middle of nowhere in Virginia, camping with another couple from Palmer, AK. Awesome.
