Route Map

 

8-25 100 miles —> 5424 "IT" stopped, I hope. I really flew yesterday. Breakfast in Livingston; lunch in Red Boiling Sprs and got to Westmoreland at a quarter to five. I sure as hell put down the liquids yesterday. The land has flattened out and there's no problem making time. Almost lost my Mariners T-shirt in Celina but I found it on a bridge only been run over a couple of times. I must be getting further west the cop had no reservation about where I could stay, a young cop too. The hot cakes will give the final indication. Talked to two kids, 13, last night; the rough ones in town. Smokin' cigs & talkin' 'bout chicks &

 

'cycles. I wish I could talk to them longer; maybe interest them in college. Fat chance, they really couldn't understand why I want to see the country. Slept real good last night. Boy I hope the music on the jukebox is not an indication of what's to come, oh God. The hot cakes still wreak of the east.

8-26 95 —> 5519 mi. Dawson Sprs, KY. 103° yesterday in Nashville which seems to be the standard around here. Broke a spoke about 11:30 btwn Justice & Claymore KY. stopped at

 
 

a church to fix it & they gave me lunch hotdog, beans, corn, a lot of H2O mellon and some tomato. Sat and talked for a long time. Btw'n Allegre & Fearsville it started raining like piss out of a boot. Speaking of which someone just said that. God Damn that's a first. I forgot to say I saw my first Vendolator made in Fresno! Spent the night at Pennyrile State Forest CG. Will make it to Illinois for lunch.
