3 years agoHow interesting! So amazed to read what Wikipedia said about it: "Mistletoe is the common name for obligate hemiparasitic plants in the order Santalales. They are attached to their host tree or shrub by a structure called the haustorium, through which they extract water and nutrients from the host plant. Their parasitic lifestyle has led to some dramatic changes in their metabolism." It shines a whole different light on mistletoe for me.
3 years agoYou’re almost there! What an achievement!! I had lunch with Dale H recently and sent him the address of your blog. He wrote back that he got chest pains just looking at your itinerary!😁
BTW, I’ve noticed that you have encountered head winds almost every day. Maybe next time you should bike from FL to CA!!😃
Pretty fun! And, I forgot to mention that Tom and his wife met Jeanna and Kerry in Ohio in 2018 also ( we met them that year on the Erie Canal trail). They both ride recumbent tandems.
3 years agoThanks, Bill. I'm enjoying learning the names of these wildfliwers.

3 years agoYup definitely phlox. Looks like there are about 8 species in that area, but it seems to match Drummond's phlox best.

I have been marveling (till this post) not only at your achievements, but that you had managed to escape all the scary-bad weather in various parts of the country that I'd been hearing about on the news. Glad you didn't have to ride in a lightning-rich storm, and that you're now so close to the east end of our country... cycle on!

Today, our penultimate riding day, our weather luck has run out. The electrical storm started at 5am, then returned in waves. We finally took off at 9:40 and got 8 miles down the road before the lightning returned. This could be a long wait, but we have an overhang here at the Circle K/Shell convenience store.
