Happy Fourth of July!

We woke at the hotel and prepped for our day's ride (aka affixed our USA flags to our bikes). This whole trip had been such an American experience, it seemed appropriate.

The ride was mediocre. I got my first flat tire of the day. Then while changing it, I could not find what caused the flat even though I looked for almost ten minutes. We determined that the culprit must have fallen out of the tube. We were wrong, about a mile later the tube was flat again. Fortunately, this time I quickly found a stone through my tire and patched the hole. The one good thing about the ride was that we saw two baby bunnies. Very cute. We were disappointed that we did not see any Fourth of July parades and only one BBQ.

We arrived at the campsite to see the mom's fine sag work. Tents pitched and ready to go. After dinner we asked about dessert and were told they only had berry fried pie. They even fry their pies in the south! Needless to say, none of us were about to turn down fried pie. Delicious.
