After our first off day we had to manage a direct crossing through the appalachians. Fortunately we were in a good mood and in good condition to do this stage. We realized that a continious uphill is much more easier than small hills all the time. In the evening we headed to a campground between Stuarts Draft and Greenville.
The next day we drove a lonely scenic little road near a little river and heard someone shouting for help out of the bushes. So we stopped and found an elderly man who fell down. We helped him up and brought him to his car again. He said he was very lucky that we heared him, because the car drivers haven't. As we set up our tent in the evening a heavy rainstorm startet. Everything got wet and muddy. This was the first rain test for our tent and everything stayed dry.
To all family members: skip this part!
Today we had to struggle with real heavy traffic. Due to a huge traffic jam on the interstate 81 (which goes parallel to our bikeroute) many cars and trucks used our route as well. Anyhow they drove like they were on the interstate on our narrow tiny bikeroute street. Remarkably the truckes were more carefully than all of the others. We were really happy when we changed our route.
By the way, we proudly present the total mileage of 566km so far. (352 miles)
