What a day, the heat hit me hard. If today was a baseball pitcher, it would be bringing some heavy heat. A lot of good things happened today though so I'm just going to hit them in a bullet style format:
-Crossed the James river on the ferry, the ferry was free (pay attention BC ferries)
-saved a turtle that was sitting in the middle of the road
-got really excited as I approached bacon castle
-bacon castle has neither bacon nor a castle, it was a church
-kept a speedy pace along some great roads
-saw my first cotton fields today
-at one point there were soy beans on one side and cotton on the other as far as the eye could see. Heaven.
-my campground is amazing and only cost ten bucks!
-I bought groceries at a place called Freddie's fresh groceries but it really should have been called "Freddie's food hole". This place had more wigs and loud belts than food. Still got four Tallboys for six bucks though, beauty.
-mine is the only tent in the campground for the second day, when did everyone up and buy RVs?
-barbeque place near to the campground was closed down. Even barbeque isn't immune to the down economy!
