Joe, while preparing to leave the Best Western Hotel this
morning, was approached by a very nice 73 year old local man named Gelton. Gelton was very interested in our bike
travels and asked a lot of questions. He
also wanted to know how old we all were.
He wished Joe a great and safe trip.
What nice people we meet on our bike travels! Shortly after leaving the hotel, Joe was
stopped by a young lady wanting to know if we were just passing through or staying
in town. She runs a ‘warm showers’ program
and wanted to know if a girl she was expecting tonight was traveling with
us. She parted by wishing us a safe
journey.
The ride to Oberlin was very pleasant, and for Chris and Joe,
it was also short. Chris stayed one
night in Merryville and one night in DeRidder.
The rest of the group will be coming from Merryville,
The scenery was not spectacular today but the low traffic
country roads made for an enjoyable ride.
Tonight we are saying at the Oberlin Inn, a small establishment in the
heart of town and right across the street from an active train line. It should be an interesting night for
sleeping.
It's difficult to read you blog and look at your pictures, but have to stay here..... Ride well!
