We took our time this morning and went to the the only place open for breakfast(see pics). We then headed for a campground outside of Ragley, La. We had a very nice ride untill I saw Charlie's wheel wobbleing again. We stopped and found another broken spoke. It took us a half hour but we got it fixed. It is now however time to get a new wheel; I will be calling shops in Houston tomorrow. We arrived at our destination around 2:30 but wernt sure. A guy was pulling out and told us what to do. The guy who runs Judie Claire's campground, Wilson, is 88 and is quite the character. He told us there is no charge for bikers.
After relaxing a few hours we went hunting for food to no prevail, 6 miles with no bags. In total we did 57 miles today. Tomorrow we head to my buddy Don's place in Beaumont, tx.
Oh yeah and Charlie's shoulder is much better today; Don will look at it tomorrow and let us know if there is any serious damage.
Well overall we were able to enjoy our day and have reflected on how good our trip has been and how everyone's prayers must be helping.
My Uncle Charlie and I will be biking across the southern USA Starting March 10th. Once reaching CA Charlie will stop but I will then continue north and back across the north. Below is a map that shows an idea of what our route will be, as we are planning it on the road. The map will have uploads of our track as we go. We will greatly appreciate any place to stay and any suggestions of places to visit. Thank you, Austin Fox

We are glad to hear Charlie is doing good. You take good care of him or knowing my kids they will put a turtle in your sack. LOL! Mikala says hi Austin! We went to Andersonville, Ga last weekend and it wore us all out. Happy Easter to you both. Be safe!
