An elderly woman talked to me about he son who is part of the highway patrol ahead and sent him a photo of my bike. Hmmm

Colder now but less wet.

Advil, coffee, and a snack. So far so good. Pain is manageable.

Liquid detected in the iPhone USB port. Stopped to put on the rain poncho on the phone.

Cloudy but dry.

There are some loud birds here with quite a range of calls.

Did not sleep enough. I'm in one time zone over. My shoulders and back hurts a bit which is disconcerting. The plan today is to stop every 75 miles regardless.

Weird vivid dreams.

Since these are time constrained traveling days I will switch to Google Maps ... right tool for the right job

I have to remember to turn the brightness down

In the dark these long straight roads are playing tricks on me.
