So,
On Tuesday I embark on the great wandering of 2019. I have a few destinations I wouldn’t mind seeing and one I have to go to, mostly I wake up pick a distance I want to ride and then look for a free campsite then head out.
7/9/19 Day 1
Woke up bright and early, got my wife up and sent her on her grumbling way to work. Attempted to take photos off my phone, while they where copying over I got a coffee and crepe at the local crepe store. Came back to seeing the photos didn’t copy over tried again while eating and again and again... gave up and finished packing.
Packed all my gear on the bike and ready to go at 9am which is was 2 hours later then expected.
Drove for a long time in the terrible heat wishing I was further north, in cool weather. Did a mix of secondary roads and interstates, days total mileage 421 miles average fuel economy 55 us mpg. Called it a day around 7pm camped out in Ouachita National Forest.
Learned to setup my hammock for the first time and discovered what I forgot to pack. Carabiners and my axe.
After setting up I made some soup ate it and then laid in the hammock escaping the bugs waiting for it to cool off which never happened
Not too bad for my first time setting up I don’t think
Yummy soup
Waiting for morning to roll around or for it to cool off
The view of the bike from inside the hammock as the sun was setting
I ended up falling asleep and waking up at midnight to brush my teeth and use the bathroom, I was lucky enough one drove by on the dirt road with straight pipes wide open.....
