As we broke camp this morning, we were attacked by the mosquitoes. They did not go away from the night before. When I looked up at the roof of my tent, it was covered with mosquitoes between the tent and the rain fly. It was awful, but at least they were on the outside of the tent. They were still there when I unpacked my tent this afternoon to set it up at our stop for the night.
I figured out where all these mosquitoes in the area come from. The “mother of all mosquitoes is located in
We started our ride out of the campsite and off on the side of the road were a couple of Sand Hill Cranes. We weren’t sure what they were, so we asked out resident bird expert and she told us that the picture I got was actually of some babies. There were adults with them as well, but I focused in on the babies.
About half way through the ride, we reached our state number 8 –
For those of you that have been following my postings, you will know that I have been watching the cows watching me. They are a strange bunch. They were not staring today. I think they were too busy playing king of the mountain. I took two pictures so you could see the winners and losers together as well as the winners up close.
Toward the end of the ride, I think we became a little delirious. We started to see things that weren’t really there. Specifically, there was what we thought was an amusement park off in the distance. We thought it looked like roller coasters. As we got closer, we realized it was just another bunch of farm equipment.
Tomorrow’s ride will be another century (100+ miles). That will be three in a row. That will be quite an accomplishment once we complete it.
