Oct 11 Day 24

Stayed up last night and visited with a short distance biker who biked to the campsite and then back home today.  I hope he enjoyed the weather as  it just perfect today.

We started a little late after several cups of coffee and pancakes with jams.  David really preferred the pancakes with strawberry preserves rather than  strawberry jelly.  He is just picky I did notice it did not change the amount he ate he just complained a little less than normal about the jam today.

For entertainment this morning we watched the other campers.  Some sat outside and apparently where trying to preserve themselves by sitting if front of  smoking ashes.  Another couple fought while emptying the waste out of the RV.  I am sure if I used that tone of voice around Dianne I would not see the foot that would blacken both eyes.  Dave felt Donna would more tolerant only making light contact with a small hammer to the head.  Finally one of the camper tried to get water out of the ground pump, the delivered water hose him down and washed his car 20 feet away.  Not sure what his wife had to say about the soaking he took.  Lots of people were eating cold breakfasts while I sat back and enjoyed a third cup of hot coffee.

The route took us though Grafton to Alton today along Highway 100 and  the beautiful limestone cliffs right beside the River.

At Alton we stopped for the day.  Dave wants to find a bike shop to fix a squeak on his bike.  Me I just wanted to rest.  So we had big lunch at MAC's OTB bar and rode up to the Super 8 to rest and consider next steps in the coming days.

Thankful for the Day
Just before lunch we saw 3 ladies consulting about a bicycle.  Dave and I stopped and offered to help out.  They seemed pleased, I supervised while Dave worked.  It did made me fell be good to help someone else and I think Dave felt useful too.  In a way it is us paying back all the people that have helped us out.

Love and Kisses to all and to all Cheers (we have our evening shot)
Allan and David
