4/7/12

Dislocated

We got up and went to breakfast with George and parted ways.  If you want to see a well written blog see geosaga.net , George is a journalist.
I decided to take a "shorter" route that turned out to be dirt roads.  We got tired of it and took a 10 mile extra to avoid 5 miles of dirt. 
While on that loop I almost hit a turtle and hit the breaks Charlie didn't get to the breaks fast enough hit my bag and went down. He dislocated his shoulder, a nice guy stopped and gave us a ride to the nearest convince store.   There I called Neal and Donny and got the best way to fix it explained to me.  We took care of it and Charlie decided he was good to ride. 
There were lots crawfish farms and the pic is of the boat they use.
We ended up doing 71 miles and are at lake view park. We ended up talking to some of the kids who work here and their friends, and relaxed with them a lot of the evening.  The place is packed but nice. We also met a guy from Colorado, we may visit. A kid came and tried to give us money that his dad said to give us (we must look poor, haha), nice people.  Tomorrow we head down 190 to another camp ground.
