Day 36: Camden-Luverne 71 mi.

I didn't blog yesterday. It was esentually 'a day off' as we only biked 42 mi. This was the consequence of having split up a long day into 2. Even today was a bit shorter. But the humidity and temp is rising so we got an early start with breakfast at 6:30 and we were on the road at 7:30 am. A headwind picked up at 11:00 am but it served more to cool us than to be a discouraging factor. We continue to ride through verdently green country and a notable ingredient yesterday, but especially today, was the sweet smell of huneysuckle. At mi. 20 we went through the surprisingly delightful small community of Pine Apple. It had some lovely old homes that were in their historic district. So far we have lucked out with the weather. Though the humidity has increased and the bank thermometer declared it was 90F it has not yet been a drippingly sweaty ride. Only 5 more days of biking.
