This sensible advice for the gun-toting camper gives me comfort at the campsites.
And we have only cycled past a few (dozen) signs like these…
And the water is perfectly safe…
And, finally, Mom, the bathrooms are clean!
No need to worry, Mom!

Hard to believe that you left San Diego two weeks ago. So glad to see you enjoying yourself out there. We’re still cheering you on from here!
Remember I have a cousin who biked this trip back in 1994? He met his biking companions in New Orleans recently for a 20-year reunion. Here is a link to the photo. I hope you also have friends amongst your biking companions.
Cathy and I just read your terrific blog, filled with wonderful details. Knowing that everyday you are getting closer is reassuring. Rt. 117 is about 6 inches from flooding so if you go too fast you will have to bike through the water. Best wishes! Love from Cathy and Peter
