Easter Sunday

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.
