Day 7 - Wasteland
Felt really good this morning. It was so nice to wake up and bike past the house we stayed in last Spring Break. Made it so easy to be familiar with it all. Legs felt very fatigued though. Probably from a lack of training leading up to this. Not too much traffic the first 40 but then quite a bit the last 80. Lots of road construction left me in pretty dicey situations. I don’t even want to know how close some of those cars got to me. Panama City was a nice area and then Rosemary Beach blew me away with how nice it was. I don’t even want to know it costs to vacation there. Got to Grayton State Park and the man at the front was rude and condescending probably because of my age. He said there was no place to stay but I proved him wrong. I read about a FL law that said State Parks will not turn away cyclists/hikers if there is no space so I read it to him then he became very friendly. A little frustrating but felt good to prove him wrong that I am actually somewhat competent. Took awhile to set up the tent but a lot of stuff is wet due to not much sun and rain most nights/mornings. Next few day might be pretty brutal. Little nervous about Mississippi but we gotta get through Alabama first :)
